4. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed heptagon of circle 3, pointing to the right. | |||
5. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of heptagon 4. | |||
6. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed heptagon of circle 1, pointing to the left. | |||
7. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed heptagon of (the circumscribed circle of) heptagon 6, pointing to the right. | |||
8. | ![]() | Repeat this three times. Construct the circumscribed heptagon of heptagon 7, pointing to the left. | |||
9. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed heptagon of heptagon 8, pointing to the right. | |||
10. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed heptagon of heptagon 9, pointing to the left. | |||
11. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed circle of heptagon 10. | |||
12. | ![]() | Extend the upper and lower lefthand sides of heptagon 10 to the left, upto the horizontal centerline. | |||
13. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the lefthand angular point of heptagon 10, tangent to circle 1 at the lefthand side. | |||
14. | ![]() | Copy circle 13 to the intersection of lines 12, and move this circle (copy and delete original) to its own righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline. | |||
15. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the lefthand intersection of circle 1 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to circle 3 at the lefthand side. | |||
16. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 15, tangent to circle 5 at the lefthand side. | |||
17. | ![]() | Copy circles 15 and 16 to the righthand intersection of circle 14 and the horizontal centerline. | |||
18. | ![]() | Construct two circles concentric to circle 14, tangent to circles 17 at the lefthand sides. | |||
19. | ![]() | Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the lefthand intersections of circles 3 and 5 with the horizontal centerline. | |||
20. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 19, tangent to circle 1 at the lefthand side. | |||
21. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 19, tangent to circle 15 at the lefthand side. | |||
22. | ![]() | Copy circles 19, 20, and 21 two times, to the centers of circles 1 and 14. See detail. | |||
![]() | |||||
23. | ![]() | Construct three pairs of parallel lines, tangent to circles 22 at both sides. See detail. | |||
![]() | |||||
24. | ![]() | Construct a "two-points" circle between the lefthand intersection of circle 5 and the righthand intersection of the outer righthand circle 22 with the horizontal centerline. | |||
25. | ![]() | Circles 1, 3, 5, 11, 14, 18, and 24, and lines 23, are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
26. | ![]() | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. pdf-file | |||
27. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... pdf-file | |||
28. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Cherhill White Horse formation of 16-04-2017. pdf-file | |||
