1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed square of circle 1, pointing up. | |||
3. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of square 2. | |||
4. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed square of circle 3, with sides horizontally and vertically. | |||
5. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of square 4. | |||
6. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed square of circle 5, pointing up. | |||
7. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed circle of square 6. | |||
8. | ![]() | Construct the inscribed square of circle 7, with sides horizontally and vertically. | |||
9. | ![]() | Draw two lines, from the top of square 2 to the upper lefthand and righthand angular points of square 8. | |||
10. | ![]() | Repeat step 9 for the other corresponding angular points of squares 2 and 8. | |||
11. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the upper intersection of circle 7 and the vertical centerline, passing through the upper righthand angular point of square 8. | |||
12. | ![]() | Copy circle 11 to the righthand angular point of square 2. | |||
13. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 12 at the righthand side. | |||
14. | ![]() | Copy circle 11 two times, to the intersections of circle 13 and the horizontal centerline. | |||
15. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the lefthand intersection of circle 12 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to circle 3 at the righthand side. | |||
16. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 15 at the righthand side. | |||
17. | ![]() | Copy circle 15 eight times, to the angular points of squares 2 and 8. | |||
18. | ![]() | Construct eight lines parallel to lines 9 and 10, tangent to circles 17 at the outer sides, as shown. | |||
19. | ![]() | Circles 3, 14, and 16, and lines 9, 10, and 18, are used for the final reconstruction. | |||
20. | ![]() | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. pdf-file | |||
21. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... pdf-file | |||
22. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Preston Grange formation of 2-08-2023. pdf-file | |||
