Turbo Engineers (Cbe)

Over at 2/A-2, Nandhi Nagar in Rathinapuri, you’ll find the workshop for Turbo Engineers (Cbe). It’s a quiet enough street compared to the main city center, but we stay busy inside. We’ve got a mix of old lathes and some newer equipment that we use for various engineering jobs. It’s mostly just a bunch of us who like working with our hands. The floor is concrete and usually has some metal shavings scattered around. We try to keep it clean, but by the end of the shift, it’s always back to how it was. People bring us parts that need fixing or they want something built from a drawing they’ve got. We sit down at the wooden table in the corner, have a cup of coffee, and figure out how to do it. There’s no fancy software doing the thinking for us; it’s mostly just experience. The address is easy to find if you know the Rathinapuri post office area. We don't have a big sign outside, just a small one on the gate. It's the kind of place where the door is usually open to let a bit of a breeze in. We don’t put out brochures or anything like that. People find us by word of mouth or because their father used to come here. We just do the work and send them on their way once the job is finished and the grease is wiped off.
