3. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of hexagon 2. | |||
4. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 3, pointing up. | |||
5. | ![]() | Copy circle 3 to the upper righthand angular point of hexagon 4. | |||
6. | ![]() | Copy circle 3 to the upper lefthand angular point of hexagon 4. | |||
7. | ![]() | Copy circle 3 to the lower angular point of hexagon 4. | |||
8. | ![]() | Construct a circle tangent to the upper lefthand and righthand sides of hexagon 2, and tangent to circle 5. | |||
9. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the center of circle 8. | |||
10. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 5, passing through the upper righthand intersection of hexagon 2 and circle 9. | |||
11. | ![]() | Copy circle 10 two times, to the centers of circles 6 and 7. | |||
12. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the top of hexagon 4, tangent to the upper sides of hexagon 2. | |||
13. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 12, pointing up. | |||
14. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of hexagon 13. | |||
15. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 14 at the lower side. | |||
16. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 15, pointing up. | |||
17. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the lower angular point of hexagon 16, passing through its upper righthand angular point. | |||
18. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between the center of circle 1 and the upper intersection of circle 17 and the vertical centerline. Divide this line into six equal parts. | |||
19. | ![]() | Construct a (very small) circle centered at the upper intersection of circle 8 and the vertical centerline, tangent to the upper righthand side of hexagon 2. | |||
20. | ![]() | Copy circle 19 five times, to the upper intersection of circle 17 and the vertical centerline, and to the upper four division nodes 18. | |||
21. | ![]() | Construct five pairs of circles concentric to circle 17, tangent to circles 20 at both sides. | |||
22. | ![]() | Copy circle 19 to the center of circle 1, and move this circle (copy and delete original) to its own upper intersection with the vertical centerline. See detail. | |||
![]() | |||||
23. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 7, tangent to circle 22 at the upper side. | |||
24. | ![]() | Repeat all necessary steps to copy and rotate circles 20 and 23, together, two times, with respect to the upper lefthand and righthand angular points of hexagon 16. | |||
25. | ![]() | Circles 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 15, 21, 23, and 24, are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
26. | ![]() | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. pdf-file | |||
27. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... pdf-file | |||
28. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Barton Stacey Belt formation of 9-07-2023. pdf-file | |||
