Reconstruction of the Winterbourne Bassett 14-07-2018 formation | |||||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 1, pointing down. | |||
3. | ![]() | Draw three rays of circle 1, to the angular points of triangle 2, and extend these lines. | |||
4. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the lower angular point of triangle 2, passing through its upper righthand angular point. | |||
5. | ![]() | Copy circle 4 two times, to the other angular points of triangle 2. | |||
6. | ![]() | Copy circle 1 to the upper intersection of circles 5. | |||
7. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 6 at the upper side. | |||
8. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the lower angular point of triangle 2, passing through the intersection of circle 7 and the upper righthand ray 3. | |||
9. | ![]() | Copy circle 8 two times, to the other angular points of triangle 2. In the next sixteen steps, steps 6, 7, 8, and 9, are repeated - mutatis mutandis - four times. | |||
10. | ![]() | Copy circle 1. | |||
11. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1. | |||

14. | ![]() | Copy circle 1. | |||
15. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1. | |||
16. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the lower angular point of triangle 2. | |||
17. | ![]() | Copy previous circle two times. | |||
18. | ![]() | Copy circle 1. | |||
19. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1. | |||
20. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the lower angular point of triangle 2. | |||
21. | ![]() | Copy previous circle two times. | |||
22. | ![]() | Copy circle 1. | |||
23. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1. | |||
24. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the lower angular point of triangle 2. | |||
25. | ![]() | Copy previous circle two times. | |||
26. | ![]() | Circles 4, 5, 8, 9, 12, 13, 16, 17, 20, 21, 24, and 25, are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
27. | ![]() | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. pdf-file | |||
28. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... pdf-file | |||
29. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Winterbourne Bassett formation of 14-07-2018. pdf-file | |||
