Ranka Engineering Company

Ranka Engineering Company is situated right near the bus stand in Pasoond, just off N.H-8. Being so close to the highway means we see a lot of traffic passing by, but we’re usually too busy inside to notice much of it. The shop has been here a long time, and the building shows its age a little, but it suits us fine. We don't go for anything modern or flashy. Our tools are old but they work, and we know how to use them. It gets a bit dusty with the road being so close, so we’re always sweeping up. People stop in because they saw our name from the road or they heard about us from someone in town. We don't do much advertising; word of mouth has always been enough. The work is mostly mechanical, lots of parts and pieces that need fixing. We take things as they come. Some weeks are frantic and some are slow, but that’s the way business goes. We’ve got a small crew, and we’ve all been together for years. We know the rhythm of the machines and each other’s habits. If you’re passing through Pasoond on the highway and need some engineering help, we’re the ones near the bus station. Just look for the gate that’s usually propped open with a brick. It's a simple setup, but it’s been our home for years and we've got no plans to change how we do things now.
