Reconstruction of the Cley Hill 30-07-2016 formation | |||||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Construct four inscribed pentagons (regular 5-sided polygons) of circle 1, one pointing up, one pointing down, one pointing to the left, and one pointing to the right. | |||
3. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed regular 20-sided polygon of circle 1, by connecting all adjacent angular points of pentagons 2. | |||
4. | ![]() | Draw the twenty rays of polygon 3, from the center to the angular points. Number these rays as well as the angular points 1 - 20 clockwise, starting at the top. | |||
5. | ![]() | Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between angular points 3 nrs. 1 and 2. | |||
6. | ![]() | Copy circle 5 to its lefthand intersection with circle 1. | |||
7. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 6 at the upper side. | |||
8. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between angular points 3 nrs. 1 and 14. | |||
9. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the intersection of line 8 and ray 4 nr. 20. | |||
10. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed decagon (regular 10-sided polygon) of circle 9, pointing to the right. | |||
11. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed circle of decagon 10. | |||
12. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed regular 20-sided polygon of circle 11, with the mid-point of the upper side on the vertical centerline. | |||
13. | ![]() | Construct a circle passing through angular points 3 nrs. 3 and 9, and passing through the angular point of polygon 12 in between rays 4 nrs. 2 and 3. | |||
14. | ![]() | Copy circle 13 nineteen times, by repeating step 13 for the corresponding angular points with respect to the other rays 4, as shown. | |||
15. | ![]() | Construct a "two-points" circle between the mid-point of the upper side of polygon 12 and its adjacent angular point to the right. | |||
16. | ![]() | Copy circle 15 to the upper intersection of circle 7 and the vertical centerline. | |||
17. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 16 at the lower side. | |||
18. | ![]() | Circles 7, 9, 13, 14, and 17, are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
19. | ![]() | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. pdf-file | |||
20. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... pdf-file | |||
21. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Cley Hill formation of 30-07-2016. pdf-file | |||
