This work is an exploration and archiving of Sunbeam Engineering Corporation, a motor repair workshop started in Delhi by my late grandfather in the 1950s. A Partition refugee, he built his life in India by working odd jobs and eventually saving enough to start his own workshop. It became the place where he spent most of his time and was known to his colleagues and employees as Bauji (elder father figure). I didn’t visit the workshop much until two years after I lost my grandfather. By then, the workshop was on the verge of liquidation but still inhabited by the people who had worked with him. Amongst the rubble of shutting down a factory, a few last winding machines still turned. In the dim glow of incandescent sparks, light bulbs, and small windows, men I barely knew—but who knew my grandfather all too well—continued to mend the last few old and exhausted motors of large-scale national and international power plants.
