Reconstruction of the 2000 Bishop Cannings formation |
|||||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle (the inner side of the ring). | |||
2. | ![]() | Draw centerlines at 45°. | |||
3. | ![]() | Construct two squares, one horizontal, one diagonal. | |||
4. | ![]() | Draw eight circles, centered at the corners of the squares, and passing through the adjacent corners. | |||
5. | ![]() | To determine the outer boundary of the ring, construct two larger squares through the corners of the smaller ones (of step 3), as shown. | |||
6. | ![]() | Construct a large octagon (a regular eight-fold polygon) by connecting the corners of the larger squares. | |||
7. | ![]() | Extend the four centerlines up to the sides of the large octagon. | |||
8. | ![]() | From the endpoints of the centerlines, construct again an octagon, inscribed in the large one. | |||
9. | ![]() | The outer border of the ring is formed by a circle, inscribed in the octagon of the previous step. | |||
10. | ![]() | Removing all superfluous parts will yield the reconstruction of the 2000 Bishop Cannings formation. | |||
