Reconstruction of the Wilton Windmill 7-08-2004 | |||||
1. | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | ||||
2. | Create the inscribed regular six-pointed star of circle 1, by constructing two inscribed equilateral triangles, one pointing up, one pointing down. | ||||
3. | Construct the circumscribed circle of the hexagon (regular 6-sided polygon) enclosed by triangles 2. | ||||
4. | Create the circumscribed regular six-pointed star of circle 1, by constructing two circumscribed equilateral triangles, one pointing up, one pointing down. | ||||
5. | Construct the circumscribed circle of star (triangles) 4. | ||||
6. | Extend all sides of triangles 2 in both directions up to circle 5, as shown. | ||||
7. | Draw the connecting line between the two intersections of circle 5 and lines 6, immediately to the right of the vertical centerline, as shown. | ||||
8. | Construct a circle centered on the horizontal centerline, tangent to line 7, and tangent to circle 1 at the righthand side. | ||||
9. | Copy circle 8 to the center of circle 1. | ||||
10. | Construct a circle centered on the vertical centerline, tangent to circles 1 and 3, both at the lower side. | ||||
11. | Copy circle 10 twelve times, to all intersections of circle 5 and lines 6. | ||||
12. | Construct a circle centered on the horizontal centerline, tangent to circle 3 on the right, and tangent to circle 8 on the left. | ||||
13. | Copy circle 12 to the center of circle 1. | ||||
14. | Copy circle 12 three times, centered on the horizontal centerline, tangent to each other, and the righthand one tangent to circle 13 on the left, as shown. | ||||
15. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 13, tangent to the rightmost circle 14 at the lefthand side. | ||||
16. | Construct two circles concentric to circle 13, tangent to the other two circles 14 at the lefthand side. | ||||
17. | Construct a circle centered at the righthand intersection of circle 13 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to circle 13 at the lefthand side. | ||||
18. | Construct three circles concentric to circle 17, tangent to circles 14 at the lefthand sides, as shown. | ||||
19. | Circles, triangles and lines 2, 5, 6, 9, 11, 13, 15, 16, 17 and 18 make up the necessary parts for the final reconstruction. | ||||
20. | Leave out all parts not visible in the formation itself. High resolution dwf-file | ||||
21. | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... High resolution dwf-file | ||||
22. | ...or to flattened crop. This will conclude the reconstruction of the Wilton Windmill formation of 7-08-2004. High resolution dwf-file | ||||
