We can't have a counterbalance right now.

The pendulum has swung hugely to the left. We need to push it back.

What the fuck do you think a counterbalance is and does? It swings the left back to the right.

Its a balance to the load. It keeps things where they are.

I work on machine tools and occasionally come across counterbalances.

Yeah, a pendulum is the exact opposite of a counterbalance.
