Reconstruction of the Ackling Dyke 21-06-2020 formation | |||||
1. | Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | ||||
2. | Construct the inscribed regular 14-sided polygon of circle 1, pointing up. | ||||
3. | Draw the fourteen rays of polygon 2, from the center to the angular points. Number these rays clockwise 1 - 14, starting at the top. | ||||
4. | Draw the connecting line between the righthand intersection of circle 1 and the horizontal centerline, and the intersection of circle 1 and ray 3 nr. 1. | ||||
5. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to line 4. | ||||
6. | Repeat step 4 thirteen times, with respect to the other rays 3 and corresponding positions, as shown. | ||||
7. | Construct a circle centered at the intersection of circle 5 and ray 3 nr. 2, passing through the intersection of line 4 and ray 3 nr. 2. | ||||
8. | Copy circle 7 to the upper intersection of circle 1 and the vertical centerline. | ||||
9. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 8 at the lower side. | ||||
10. | Draw the connecting line between the righthand intersection of circle 1 and the horizontal centerline, and the intersection of circle 9 and ray 3 nr. 14. | ||||
11. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to line 10. | ||||
12. | Draw the connecting line between the intersections of circle 11 with rays 3 nrs. 1 and 7. | ||||
13. | Repeat step 12 six times, with respect to the pairs of rays 3 nrs. 3 and 9, 5 and 11, 7 and 13, 9 and 1, 11 and 3, and 13 and 5. | ||||
14. | Circles 1, 5, and 9, and lines 3, 4, 6, 12, and 13, are used for the final reconstruction. | ||||
15. | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. pdf-file | ||||
16. | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... pdf-file | ||||
17. | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Ackling Dyke formation of 21-06-2020. pdf-file | ||||
