27. | Construct a circle centered at the lower intersection of circle 23 and the vertical centerline, tangent to the central circle 25 at the lower side. | ||||
28. | Copy circle 27 to the righthand intersection of circle 1 and the horizontal centerline. | ||||
29. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 28 at the lefthand side. | ||||
30. | Construct a "two-points" circle between the lower intersections of circles 23 and 27 with the vertical centerline. | ||||
31. | Copy circle 30 seventeen times, to the center of circle 1, and to the intersections of circle 11 and rays 3. | ||||
32. | Draw sixteen pairs of parallel lines, parallel to rays 3, tangent at both sides to the central circle 31 and the other circles 31, as shown. | ||||
