Way too much time on his hands.....

Probably 'print'.  But I don't know German.

Probably 'print'.  But I don't know German.

'under pressure' in that case.

Koalition is the group of parties forming the goverment.

no, the word 'druck' simply has several meanings, like put, set or fix each have several dozend replacements in german ;-)

- pressure (as air pressure in tires)

- psychological pressure, like being forced to do a decision

- print; there is 'druckschrift' in opposite to handrwiting, druck presse as of what prints a newspaper, a printer press?

ah, and no, while 'druck' describes whats done with the press, (you also could use a press to combust paper or old cars) so 'druck presse' rather is an impact printing machine that prints whole pages at once by pressing something wet with ink to a paper.

hm, watching the size of the chainring which could make such a print, the Lady was a stoker on a roadbike tandem.

Okay, so what does a gauge that reads "druck press." mean?

probably a printer press,

but actualy 'press' isn't a whole word, the noun is 'Presse', the verbs are 'pressen, gepresst'

btw, I forgot one meaning, where 'Presse' is an abstract word for the journalists of all kinds.

Do you have a pic of that? or maybe some more context?

Druck = pressure

Press = gauge

On a Porsche, the gauge is calibrated in BAR not psi.

yep.  But just like cell phones, those gauges are not too accurate.  5 bar = 72 psi.  If you have oil pressure that high, get an umbrella.  Somethings gonna blow.
