Good morning, another crack at the Cheescracker’s “Prime Times”! Having taken full advantage of the generous hints, I’ve got all the Unclueds except the landmark event on 5(D) for which I now have:
?ILE?TI

And finally, a plea for hints to put these to rest, thank you!

ACROSS:
39 Hang object on end of strip (4) : ?END
40 Transmission system in platelet examined (7) : T???T??

DOWN:
30 Rating exam to get away from trap (6) : ?B????

39 pend
P + end
40 teletex
There's very detailed information, the answer, to 5 (D) on an earlier thread.

40 Hidden in the clue
30 The usual two-letter abbreviation for a rating/sailor and the usual exam.

This one's been another battle - you might be pleased to see Doc return next week.



Aboral?
AB + oral. Trap is mouth
30 abroad
aboral is better

Many thanks, NACW, this one is a real battle! I cannot wait for Doc's offering! I'm still stuck on 38(a) where the 2-word acting term keeps
eluding me! I wonder if my letters are correct: S?A?ELEU?

Thanks, Matakari. Your U is wrong in 38. The break is 5,4. (And if you can't get it now, it must be time to hang up your pencil!)

I appreciate your help, bhg481. My second U from 28(D) threw me off completely. I'm not ready to hang up my pencil, NACW, I've got to solve the mysterious 5(d) now!
Thanks, Matakari. I think 5 D is mentioned, has answers and suggestions, on several other threads, though maybe you will want to get that last little bit yourself.
