Reconstruction of the Southend 29-06-2007 formation | |||||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Copy circle 1 to its lower intersection with the vertical centerline. | |||
3. | ![]() | Copy circle 1 to the lower intersection of circle 2 and the vertical centerline. Move this circle (copy and delete original) to its own lower intersection with the vertical centerline. | |||
4. | ![]() | Repeat step 3 eight times, first with respect to circle 3, then with respect to each newly copied circle, as shown. | |||
5. | ![]() | Repeat step 3 once again, with respect to the last (lowest) circle 4, to yield eleven circles in total on a vertical row, head to tail, as shown. | |||
6. | ![]() | Construct a "two-points" circle, defined by the end-points of a centerline, with the points at the centers of circles 1 and 5. | |||
7. | ![]() | Construct a two-points circle, with the points at the lower intersections of circles 2 and 5 with the vertical centerline. | |||
8. | ![]() | Construct a two-points circle, with one point at the lower intersection of circle 3 and the vertical centerline, and the other point at the center of circle 5. | |||
9. | ![]() | Steps 9 through 15 are a repetition of steps 7 and 8, each with respect to the next circle 4 for the upper point, and alternately the lower intersection and the center of circle 5 for the lower point. First circle 4, lower intersection of circle 5. | |||
10. | ![]() | Next circle 4, center of circle 5. | |||
11. | ![]() | Next circle 4, lower intersection of circle 5. | |||
12. | ![]() | Next circle 4, center of circle 5. | |||
13. | ![]() | Next circle 4, lower intersection of circle 5. | |||
14. | ![]() | Next circle 4, center of circle 5. | |||
15. | ![]() | Next circle 4, lower intersection of circle 5. | |||
16. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the center of circle 3. | |||
17. | ![]() | Copy circles 5 through 15 as a whole, while mirroring with respect to the horizontal centerline. | |||
18. | ![]() | Circles 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
19. | ![]() | Remove all parts not present in the formation itself. High resolution dwf-file | |||
20. | ![]() | Colour all areas with standing... High resolution dwf-file | |||
21. | ![]() | ...or with flattened crop; this will finish the reconstruction of the Southend formation of 29-06-2007. High resolution dwf-file | |||
