minus-squarebulwark@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·10 days agoI see they painted some high viz caution stripes on the counterweights in the color photos. I thought they looked kinda dangerous for the people on the ground.
minus-squareBearOfaTime@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·10 days agoI imagine they move very slowly, and make a lot of noise. People probably weren’t expected to be in that space most of the time, too (I suppose). That projecting part must be mechanism - counterweight wouldn’t need to stick out so much, just by using the appropriate weight.
Some context.
