Reconstruction of the Wouldham 4-07-2006 formation | |||||
| 1. |
| Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
| 2. |
| Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 1, pointing to the right. | |||
| 3. |
| Copy circle 1 three times, to the angular points of triangle 2. | |||
| 4. |
| Complete the flower-of-life pattern, by copying circle 1 another three times, to the (outer) intersections of circles 3. | |||
| 5. |
| Construct the inscribed dodecagon (regular 12-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing to the right. | |||
| 6. |
| Construct the inscribed circle of dodecagon 5. | |||
| 7. |
| Copy circle 6 six times, to the centers of circles 3 and 4. | |||
| 8. |
| Draw a line from the lefthand intersection of circle 1 and the horizontal centerline, to the upper right outer intersection of (two adjacent) circles 7, as shown. | |||
| 9. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to line 8. | |||
| 10. |
| Draw three rays, from the center of circle 1 to the angular points of triangle 2. Extend these lines up to circles 3. | |||
| 11. |
| Copy circle 9 three times, to the outer intersections of circles 3 and rays 10, as shown. | |||
| 12. |
| Construct the circumscribed dodecagon of circle 1, the righthand side perpendicular to the horizontal centerline. | |||
| 13. |
| Construct the circumscribed circle of dodecagon 12. | |||
| 14. |
| Copy circle 13 six times, to the centers of circles 7. | |||
| 15. |
| Circles 1, 7, 11 and 14 are the only elements needed for the final reconstruction. | |||
| 16. |
| Remove all superfluous parts not visible in the formation itself. High resolution dwf-file | |||
