40. Construct two circles concentric to circle 1, tangent to successive circles 39 at the lefthand sides.

41. Construct two circles centered at the intersections of circle 1 with the rightmost ray 4 and the one just above it, each passing through the center of the other.

42. Draw the connecting line between the center of circle 1 and the righthand intersection of circles 41.

43. Construct two circles centered at the intersections of circle 1 with the righthand ray 4 just above the horizontal centerline and with line 42, each passing through the center of the other.

44. Draw the connecting line between the center of circle 1 and the righthand intersection of circles 43.

46. Draw the connecting line between the center of circle 1 and the righthand intersection of circles 45.

(Lines 42, 44 and 46 are the bisectors of their respective angles. The angle between the last two lines, therefore, is one 192nd part of the circle; that is, one eighth of the section between two successive rays 4, which is one 24th part of the circle).

47. Construct two circles centered at the intersections of circle 1 with the righthand ray 4 just above the horizontal centerline and with line 46, each passing through the center of the other.

48. Draw the connecting line between the mutual intersections of circles 47.

49. Copy upper circle 47 to the intersection of circle 1 and line 48.

50. Copy circle 49 six times, the first to its lower intersection with circle 1, the second to the corresponding intersection of the first, and so on.

51. Draw eight rays, from the center to the circumference of circle 1, tangent to circles 50 at the upper and lower sides, see detail.

52. Create one of the 24 peripheral patterns of the formation, by removing all irrelevant parts from circles 8, 34, 36 and 38, and from lines 51.

53. Copy pattern 52 23 times, to the corresponding positions within the other sections. That means, repeat steps 41 through 52 for all other 23 sections, defined by rays 4.

54. Circles 1, 18, 36 and 40, and patterns 32, 52 and 53, together, make up all that is necessary for the final reconstruction.

55. Remove parts from circle 36 not visible within the formation.
