Comments on the clue
1.You must be able to defend a device in and of itself. Some dreadful clues have seen publication.
2.Became is just fine as an anagrind, no need for all the detailed justification. Beautiful smooth surface. Well done.
3.Nice surface, but I'm not comfortable with "became" despite its usage elsewhere.
