Reconstruction of the Belmore Lane 11-06-2019 formation | |||||
1. | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | ||||
2. | Construct two inscribed squares of circle 1, one pointing to the right, one with horizontal and vertical sides. | ||||
3. | Construct the inscribed circle of squares 2. | ||||
4. | Draw eight rays of circle 1 from its center to the angular points of squares 2. | ||||
5. | Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the intersections of circles 1 and 3 and the upper righthand ray 4. | ||||
6. | Copy circle 5 to the center of circle 1. | ||||
7. | Construct a "two-points" circle between the righthand intersections of circles 1 and 6 with the horizontal centerline. | ||||
8. | Copy circle 7 to the center of circle 1. | ||||
9. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the center of circle 7. | ||||
10. | Construct the inscribed octagon (regular 8-sided polygon) of circle 9, pointing to the right. | ||||
11. | Copy circle 7 seven times, to the other angular points of octagon 10. Number these circles counterclockwise 1 - 7, starting at the upper righthand one. | ||||
12. | Draw four pairs of parallel lines, one pair between the righthand intersections of circles 11 nrs. 1 and 7 and the lefthand intersections of circles 11 nrs. 3 and 5, with circle 9. The other three pairs between corresponding intersections of circles 7 and 11 with circle 9. See detail. | ||||
13. | Draw a line, tangent to circles 11 nrs. 1 and 3, at the upper sides. | ||||
14. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to line 13. | ||||
15. | Construct the circumscribed square of circle 14, pointing to the right. | ||||
16. | Construct the circumscribed circle of square 15. | ||||
17. | Construct the circumscribed square of circle 16, pointing to the right. | ||||
18. | Construct the circumscribed circle of square 17. | ||||
19. | Copy circle 5 to the intersection (tangent point) of circle 7 and the upper righthand side of square 15. | ||||
20. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 19 at the far side. | ||||
21. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the righthand intersection of circles 11 nrs. 1 and 7. | ||||
22. | Copy circle 21 to the righthand angular point of square 15. | ||||
23. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 22 at the righthand side. | ||||
24. | Circles 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 18, 20, and 23, and lines 4, and 12, are used for the final reconstruction. | ||||
25. | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. pdf-file | ||||
26. | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... pdf-file | ||||
27. | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Belmore Lane formation of 11-06-2019. pdf-file | ||||
