Pardon? If you are saying that trouser is an adjective, then I'm beginning to wonder what it means, and if it is part of the sequence: trous, trouser, trousest. -- http://gallery120232.fotopic.net/p10589947.html (37 092 at London Liverpool Street, 13 Apr 1980) |

It modifies the word "press", telling you what kind of a press it is. -- James Farrar . @gmail.com |
