Reconstruction of the
West Meon 20-04-2003 formation

1. Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines.

2. Construct the inscribed hexagon (regular 6-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up.

3. Construct the inscribed circle of hexagon 2.

4. Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 1, pointing up.

5. Construct a circle, passing through the center of circle 1, and tangent to the left-hand and right-hand sides of triangle 4.

6. Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 3, pointing up.

7. Construct a circle, concentric to circle 5, and tangent to the upper left-hand and right-hand sides of hexagon 6.

8. Copy circle 5 to the center of circle 1.

9. Copy circle 5 another time to the lower intersection of circle 8 and the vertical centerline.

10. Copy circle 7 to the center of circle 9.

11. Draw the connecting line between the lower intersection of circle 7 and the upper intersection of circle 10 with the vertical centerline.

12. Circles 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 10, and line 11 form the constituents of the reconstruction.

13. Remove those parts not used.
