    You can use multiple pulleys and shackles to take the distance of the rope up.

    It’s how they do it inside of machines as far as I’ve seen.

      I still feel the distance they travel will stay the same. Except if I use a gear train.

        Using #4 would allow you to move the pen 40cm for every 10cm of counterweight travel.
