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 | |||
