Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 3270092, member: 27"] I think the counter weights have been there as long as the crane. You need them to counter the weight of whatever the crane is lifting. The counter weights will always on on the opposite side of the heavy thing that crane is going to lift. The reason I am confident Walt will be lifting things on the north wall is because they have positioned his counter weights southwest of that crane, With the second, slightly smaller crane (I am not sure if we have agreed on a name for it or not), the counter weights are in a curious position, closer to the dome than the crane. I am guessing that one or more box girders on stored between that crane and Heroy, and will probably be the next things it lifts. [/QUOTE]
