| 19. | 
| Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 18, pointing to the right. | |||
| 20. | 
| Copy circle 10 five times, to the other angular points of hexagon 19, as shown. | |||
| 21. | 
| Construct the "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the righthand intersections of circles 5 and 6 with the horizontal centerline. | |||
| 22. |

| |||||
| 25. | 
| Construct three pairs of parallel lines, tangent to opposite circles 21 and 24, at both sides, as shown. See detail. | |||
| |||||
| 26. | 
| Circles 5, 6, 8, 11, 13, 15, 17, and 20, and lines 25, are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
