Reconstruction of the Winterbourne Monkton 23-05-2007 formation | |||||
1. | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | ||||
2. | Construct the inscribed pentagon (regular 5-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up. | ||||
3. | Construct the inscribed circle of pentagon 2. | ||||
4. | Construct the inscribed pentagon of circle 3, pointing up. | ||||
5. | Construct the inscribed pentagon of (the inscribed circle of) pentagon 4, pointing down. | ||||
6. | Construct the inscribed circle of pentagon 5. | ||||
7. | Draw the diagonal of pentagon 2, from the top to the lower lefthand angular point. | ||||
8. | Draw the diagonal of pentagon 2, from the top to the lower righthand angular point. | ||||
9. | Finish the inscribed pentagram of pentagon 2 by drawing the other diagonals. | ||||
10. | Construct the circumscribed circle of the enclosed pentagon of pentagram 7-8-9. | ||||
11. | Copy circle 10 to the righthand intersection of circle 1 and the horizontal centerline. | ||||
12. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 11 at the righthand side. Move it (copy and delete original) to the intersection of line 7 and the horizontal centerline. | ||||
13. | Copy circle 6 to the righthand intersection of circle 11 and the horizontal centerline. | ||||
14. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 13 at the righthand side. | ||||
15. | Copy circle 10 to the righthand intersection of circle 13 and the horizontal centerline. | ||||
16. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 15 at the righthand side. Move it to the intersection of line 8 and the horizontal centerline. | ||||
17. | Copy circle 6 to the righthand intersection of circle 15 and the horizontal centerline. | ||||
18. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 17 at the righthand side. | ||||
19. | Copy circle 10 to the center of circle 17. | ||||
20. | Copy circle 6 to the righthand intersection of circle 19 and the horizontal centerline. | ||||
21. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 20 at the righthand side. Move it to the intersection of line 7 and the horizontal centerline. | ||||
22. | Copy circle 6 to the righthand intersection of circle 20 and the horizontal centerline. | ||||
23. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 22 at the righthand side. | ||||
24. | Copy circle 10 to the center of circle 22. Move it to its own righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline. | ||||
25. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 24 at the righthand side. | ||||
26. | Only circles 1, 3, 6, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 21, 23 and 25 are needed for the final reconstruction. High resolution dwf-file | ||||
