Reconstruction of the 2000 Bishop Cannings formation |
|||||
1. | Draw a circle (the inner side of the ring). | ||||
2. | Draw centerlines at 45°. | ||||
3. | Construct two squares, one horizontal, one diagonal. | ||||
4. | Draw eight circles, centered at the corners of the squares, and passing through the adjacent corners. | ||||
5. | To determine the outer boundary of the ring, construct two larger squares through the corners of the smaller ones (of step 3), as shown. | ||||
6. | Construct a large octagon (a regular eight-fold polygon) by connecting the corners of the larger squares. | ||||
7. | Extend the four centerlines up to the sides of the large octagon. | ||||
8. | From the endpoints of the centerlines, construct again an octagon, inscribed in the large one. | ||||
9. | The outer border of the ring is formed by a circle, inscribed in the octagon of the previous step. | ||||
10. | Removing all superfluous parts will yield the reconstruction of the 2000 Bishop Cannings formation. | ||||
