Reconstruction of the Etchilhampton Hill 27-07-2014 formation | |||||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 1, pointing down. | |||
3. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 1, pointing up. | |||
4. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between the righthand angular point of triangle 2 and the lefthand intersection of triangles 2 and 3. | |||
5. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the intersection of the righthand side of triangle 3 and line 4, tangent to the upper side of triangle 2. | |||
6. | ![]() | Copy circle 5 to the top of triangle 3. | |||
7. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed equilateral triangle, pointing down, of the circle concentric to circle 1, and tangent to circle 6 at the upper side. | |||
8. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed circle of triangle 7. | |||
9. | ![]() | Copy circle 5 to the upper intersection of circle 8 and the vertical centerline. | |||
10. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed equilateral triangle, pointing down, of the circle concentric to circle 1, and tangent to circle 9 at the upper side. | |||
11. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed circle of triangle 10. | |||
12. | ![]() | Copy circle 5 to the righthand intersection of circle 11 and the horizontal centerline. Move this circle (copy and delete original) to its own corresponding intersection. See detail. | |||
![]() | |||||
13. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 12 at the righthand side. | |||
14. | ![]() | Copy circle 5 to the intersection of the righthand side of triangle 10 and the horizontal centerline. | |||
15. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 14 at the righthand side. | |||
16. | ![]() | Draw three pairs of lines, each pair from a different angular point of triangle 10, to the midpoints of the two nearest sides of triangle 7, as shown. | |||
17. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between the righthand angular points of triangles 2 and 3. | |||
18. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the intersection of line 17 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to cirle 1 at the near side. | |||
19. | ![]() | Copy circle 18 seven times, to the center of circle 1, and to the intersections of circle 15 and lines 16. | |||
20. | ![]() | Circles 1, 8, 11, 13 and 19, and triangles 2, 7 and 10, make up the final reconstruction. pdf-file | |||
21. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... pdf-file | |||
