minus-squareBearOfaTime@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·20 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.
