Dynamic Gears

People usually find us by looking for Street No. 6. It gets pretty crowded around here in the Anand Parbat Industrial Area, especially when the trucks are trying to squeeze through the narrow lanes. We’ve been at 29/16 for quite some time now. Inside, it’s mostly just the sound of the machines and the smell of cutting oil. It’s not a fancy place, but it’s where we do our work every day. I remember when we first moved in, the floor was much cleaner than it is today. Now, there are scratches and stains everywhere from moving heavy metal around. We spend most of our time looking at blueprints or checking the teeth on a gear we just finished. Sometimes the power goes out and we all just sit outside for a bit until it comes back on. It gives us a chance to talk to the neighbors. Most people around here are doing the same kind of stuff, just trying to get orders finished on time. We don't really have a big office or anything. There’s just a small desk where we keep the papers and a few chairs for when someone drops by to discuss a job. It’s a bit dusty, but that’s just how it is in this part of town. We keep the machines running as much as we can. It’s hard work, and your hands are always black by the end of the day, but it’s what we know how to do.
