2024 Wilton Windmill formation
|
Reconstruction of the 2024 Wilton Windmill formation | ||
| 1. |
| Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines. |
| 2. |
| Construct two inscribed squares of circle 1, one pointing up, one with horizontal and vertical sides. |
| 3. |
| Draw the connecting line from the center of circle 1 to the upper righthand intersection of squares 2, and extend this line upto circle 1. |
| 4. |
| Construct a circle centered at the intersection of circle 1 and line 3, tangent to the upper horizontal side of squares 2. |
| 5. |
| Copy circle 4 three times, to the upper, the lefthand, and the lower, angular points of squares 2. |
| 6. |
| Construct a circle centered at the intersection of line 3 and the upper horizontal side of squares 2, tangent to circle 1 at the near side. |
| 7. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 6 at the lower side. |
| 8. |
| Construct a circle centered at the upper intersection of circle 7 and the vertical centerline, tangent to the upper lefthand side of squares 2. |
| 9. |
| Copy circle 8 to the center of circle 1. |
| 10. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 6, tangent to upper circle 5 at the near side. |
| 11. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 10 at the far side. |
| 12. |
| Construct the "two-points circle" (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the upper intersection of circle 11, and the intersection of upper circle 5, both with the vertical centerline. |
| 13. |
| Copy circle 12 to the lefthand angular point of squares 2. |
| 14. |
| Draw the connecting line between the upper intersection of circles 1 and 13 and the righthand angular point of squares 2. See detail. Extend this line to the right sufficiently (with about its own length). |

| 26. |
| Copy circle 25 to the intersection of line 14 and circle 24. |
| 27. |
| Copy circle 21 to the center of circle 26. |
| 28. |
| Copy circle 12 to the righthand intersection of line 14 and circle 27. |
| 29. |
| Copy circle 17 to the righthand intersection of line 14 and circle 28. |
| 30. |
| Copy circle 17 to the righthand intersection of line 14 and circle 29. |
| 31. |
| Circles 1, 5, 7, 9, 11, 18, 22, 26, 28, and 30, are used for the final reconstruction. |
| 32. |
| Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. |
| 33. |
| Colour all areas corresponding to standing... |
| 34. |
| ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2024 Wilton Windmill formation. |
| 35. |
| The final result, matched with two aerial images. |
