Reconstruction of the 2014 Buckle Street formation | ||
1. | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |
2. | Construct the inscribed octagon (regular 8-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up. | |
3. | Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the center of circle 1 and its righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline. | |
4. | Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 3, pointing to the left. | |
5. | Construct a circle, passing through the righthand intersection of circle 1 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to both lefthand sides of triangle 4. | |
6. | Copy circle 5 to the righthand angular point of octagon 2. | |
7. | Copy circle 5 seven times, to the other angular points of octagon 2. | |
8. | Construct the inscribed circle of triangle 4. | |
9. | Copy circle 8 to the center of circle 1. | |
10. | Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 9, pointing up. | |
11. | Construct the inscribed circle of triangle 10. | |
12. | Construct a "two-points" circle between the intersections of circle 6 and upper righthand circle 7 with the righthand side of octagon 2 just above the horizontal centerline. | |
13. | Copy circle 12 four times, the first to the righthand intersection of circle 11 and the horizontal centerline, the others consecutively to the corresponding intersection of its preceding one. | |
14. | Construct four circles concentric to circle 1, tangent to circles 13 at the righthand sides. | |
15. | Construct a circle, tangent to the outer circle 14 at the upper righthand side, tangent to circle 6 at the upper lefthand side, and tangent to the upper righthand circle 7 at the lower lefthand side. | |
16. | Copy circle 12 to the righthand intersection of outer circle 14 and the horizontal centerline. | |
17. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 16 at the righthand side. | |
18. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 15, tangent to circle 17 at the upper righthand side. | |
19. | Construct the inscribed octagon of a circle concentric to circle 1 and passing through the center of circle 18, with one angular point coincident with that center. | |
20. | Copy circle 18 seven times, to the other angular points of octagon 19. | |
21. | Construct a "two-points" circle between the center of circle 12 and its tangent point with circle 6. | |
22. | Copy circle 21 to the center of circle 18. | |
23. | Construct two circles concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 22 at both sides. | |
24. | Construct a circle centered at the lefthand intersection of circle 6 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to outer circle 23 at the righthand side. | |
25. | Copy circle 24 to the center of circle 6. | |
26. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 25 at the righthand side. | |
27. | Circles 1, 6, 7, 11, 14, 18, 20, 23, and 26, are used for the final reconstruction. | |
28. | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. | |
29. | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... | |
30. | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2014 Buckle Street formation. | |
31. | The final result, matched with the aerial image. |
