|||||
| 1. |
| Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
| 2. |
| Construct the inscribed hexagon (regular 6-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up. | |||
| 3. |
| Construct the inscribed circle of hexagon 2. | |||
| 4. |
| Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 1, pointing up. | |||
| 5. |
| Construct a circle, passing through the center of circle 1, and tangent to the left-hand and right-hand sides of triangle 4. | |||
| 6. |
| Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 3, pointing up. | |||
| 7. |
| Construct a circle, concentric to circle 5, and tangent to the upper left-hand and right-hand sides of hexagon 6. | |||
| 8. |
| Copy circle 5 to the center of circle 1. | |||
| 9. |
| Copy circle 5 another time to the lower intersection of circle 8 and the vertical centerline. | |||
| 10. |
| Copy circle 7 to the center of circle 9. | |||
| 11. |
| Draw the connecting line between the lower intersection of circle 7 and the upper intersection of circle 10 with the vertical centerline. | |||
| 12. |
| Circles 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 10, and line 11 form the constituents of the reconstruction. | |||
