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.

12. Construct a circle centered at the lower angular point of triangle 2.

13. Copy previous circle two times.

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.
