Reconstruction of the Ranscomb Bottom 23-07-2016 formation | |||||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed pentagon (regular 5-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up. | |||
3. | ![]() | Draw the five diagonals of pentagon 2. Number these diagonals clockwise 1 - 5, starting at the horizontal one. | |||
4. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed pentagon of circle 1, pointing down. Number the sides clockwise 1 - 5, starting at the upper one. | |||
5. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed pentagon of circle 1, the lower side horizontally. | |||
6. | ![]() | Extend the sides of pentagon 2 each in both directions upto pentagon 5. | |||
7. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed decagon (regular 10-sided polygon) of circle 1, by connecting the successive angular points of pentagons 2 and 5. | |||
8. | ![]() | Draw the five diagonals of the pentagon enclosed by diagonals 3. | |||
9. | ![]() | Draw the five diagonals of pentagon 4. | |||
10. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between the intersection of diagonal 3 nr. 5 and side 4 nr. 1 and the intersection of diagonal 3 nr. 1 and side 4 nr. 5. Repeat this four times for the other corresponding intersections of diagonals 3 and sides 4, as shown. | |||
11. | ![]() | Draw the two diagonals of the lower righthand parallelogram enclosed by pentagon 5 and lines 6. | |||
12. | ![]() | Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the intersection of the upper lefthand and upper righthand diagonals 9 and the intersection of diagonal 3 nr. 1 and the vertical centerline. | |||
13. | ![]() | Copy circle 12 to the intersection of diagonals 11. | |||
14. | ![]() | Copy circle 12 four more times to the other positions with respect to pentagon 5 corresponding to circle 13, as shown. | |||
15. | ![]() | Lines 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, and circles 13 and 14, are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
16. | ![]() | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. pdf-file | |||
17. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... pdf-file | |||
18. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Ranscomb Bottom formation of 23-07-2016. pdf-file | |||
