2. | ![]() | Draw both diagonals of the lower lefthand square. | |||
3. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of the lower lefthand square. | |||
4. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 3, pointing to the left. | |||
5. | ![]() | Construct a circle, tangent to circle 3 at the righthand side, and tangent to both lefthand sides of triangle 4. (This is the half of a Vesica Pisces pattern, dividing the horizontal centerline of circle 3 into three equal parts). | |||
6. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 3, tangent to circle 5 at the lefthand side. | |||
7. | ![]() | Copy circle 5 to the center of circle 3. | |||
8. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 6, pointing in the upper righthand direction. | |||
9. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of triangle 8. | |||
10. | ![]() | Copy circles 6, 7 and 9 sixty-three times, to the centers of all other squares of grid 1. | |||
11. | ![]() | Construct four parallel, horizontal lines, tangent to circles 6 and 7 at both sides, and extending to the right upto lower righthand circles 10. | |||
12. | ![]() | Copy lines 11 as a whole seven times, to the corresponding circles 10 in the other seven rows of grid 1. | |||
13. | ![]() | Construct four parallel, vertical lines, tangent to circles 6 and 7 at both sides, and extending up to upper lefthand circles 10. | |||
14. | ![]() | Copy lines 13 as a whole seven times, to the corresponding circles 10 in the other seven columns of grid 1. | |||
15. | ![]() | Copy circle 7 four times, to the four angular points of grid 1. | |||
16. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed circle of circles 15. | |||
17. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed square of circle 16, sides horizontal and vertical. | |||
18. | ![]() | Extend the upper side of the upper righthand square and the lower side of the lower righthand square of grid 1 to the right upto square 17. | |||
19. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 16, passing through the intersections of lines 18 and square 17. | |||
20. | ![]() | Construct a circle passing through the intersections of upper line 11, righthand line 13, lower line 12 and lefthand line 14. | |||
21. | ![]() | Copy circle 20 to the lower intersection of circle 19 and the righthand side of square 17. | |||
22. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 16, tangent to circle 21 at the upper lefthand side. | |||
23. | ![]() | Copy circle 20 to the lower righthand angular point of grid 1. | |||
24. | ![]() | Draw a horizontal line, tangent to circles 21 and 23 at the lower sides. | |||
25. | ![]() | Copy circle 20 to the intersection of circle 22 and line 24. | |||
26. | ![]() | Grid 1, circles 6, 7, 9, 10, 16 and 25, and lines 11, 12, 13, and 14, are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
27. | ![]() | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. High resolution dwf-file | |||
28. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... High resolution dwf-file | |||
29. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Cheesefoot Head formation of 9-08-2012. High resolution dwf-file | |||
