Reconstruction of the 2001 Folly Barn formation |
|||||
1. | ![]() | Construct an equilateral triangle, pointing downwards. | |||
2. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of the triangle. | |||
3. | ![]() | For each of the triangle's angular points, construct a circle with its center at that point, passing through the other angular points. | |||
4. | ![]() | Draw the three rays from the center of the inscribed circle 2 (the central point of the formation) to the angular points of the triangle. | |||
5. | ![]() | Construct a circle with its center at the intersection of a ray and the inscribed circle 2, passing through the opposite angular points of the triangle, as shown. Repeat this two more times for the intersections with the other rays. | |||
6. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to a circle 3, tangent to circle 5 (at the far end), as shown. Repeat this two more times for the other circles 3 (and 5). | |||
7. | ![]() | Construct a circle with its center at the central point of the formation, tangent to circles 6 at the outer sides, as shown. | |||
8. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric with a circle 5, tangent to a circle 3 at the near end, as shown. Repeat this two more times for the other circles 5 (and 3). | |||
9. | ![]() | Construct a circle with its diameter equal to the distance between circles 5 and 8, and copy this circle to the center of the formation. | |||
10. | ![]() | Circles 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 together form the ingredients for the reconstruction. | |||
11. | ![]() | Leaving out all unnecessary parts and making black relevant areas completes the reconstruction of the 2001 Folly Barn formation. Black denotes standing crop. | |||
