from frogman's site:

10a CARL (the old country worker) holding ROUSE (another old word, this time for a ‘bumper’, a full draught of liquor), the result being a North American version of ‘carousel’.

[TheFrogman]

...a carousel (US carrousel) being a magazine (in a slide projector).

Frogman, why can't you just parse the specific answer instead of needlessly linking to your site?
It's bad enough that your site posts most of the answers to prize puzzles before the prize deadline?
