Reconstruction of the Willoughby Hedge 5-06-2016 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. | Draw the twenty rays of pentagons 2, from the center of circle 1 to the angular points. Number these rays 1 - 20 clockwise, starting at the top. These numbers will denote the angular points as well. | ||||
4. | Draw two lines, from angular point nr. 11, to angular points nrs. 3 and 19, respectively. | ||||
5. | Draw two lines, from angular point nr. 1, to the intersections of rays nrs. 7 and 15 with lines 4. | ||||
6. | Draw two lines, from angular point nr. 1, to the intersections of rays nrs. 4 and 18 with lines 4. | ||||
7. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the intersections of rays nrs. 3 and 19 with lines 5. | ||||
8. | Draw the connecting line between the lower end-points of lines 5. | ||||
9. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the intersections of rays nrs. 9 and 13 with line 8. | ||||
10. | Construct the inscribed decagon (regular ten-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up. | ||||
11. | Copy lines 5 and 6 nine times, by repeating steps 5 and 6 (and the necessary previous steps) with respect to the other angular points of decagon 10. | ||||
12. | Construct the circumscribed decagon of circle 1, pointing to the right. | ||||
13. | Construct the circumscribed circle of decagon 12. | ||||
14. | Circles 1, 7, 9, and 13, and lines 5, 6, and 11, are used for the final reconstruction. | ||||
15. | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. pdf-file | ||||
16. | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... pdf-file | ||||
17. | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Willoughby Hedge formation of 5-06-2016. pdf-file | ||||
