Shirley they thought about that when they designed the CAM ? Wouldn't
there have been some accelerometers that would control some
counterweight rotation to balance the module ?

Was the CAM originally designed to be attached to a far more massive
station where its effects would have been smaller (due to larger station
mass) and could have been mitigated by the CMGs ?
