      I 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.

        I 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.
