13. | Copy circle 6 twelve times, to the centers of circles 12. | ||||
14. | Copy circle 10 two times, to the centers of the upper lefthand and righthand circles 13. | ||||
15. | Draw two lines, from the center of circle 1, tangent to circles 14 at the inner sides (closest to the vertical centerline), and extend these lines upto circle 3. | ||||
16. | Copy circle 11 to the center of circle 5. | ||||
17. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 16 at the upper side. | ||||

22. | Construct a circle concentric to the upper righthand circle 13, tangent to the lefthand circle 14 at the righthand side. | ||||
23. | Construct a circle centered at the intersection of lefthand line 15 and circle 20, passing through the upper intersection of circle 20 and the vertical centerline. | ||||
24. | Copy circle 23 to the center of circle 1. | ||||
25. | Construct a line tangent to circles 23 and 24 at the righthand sides, and extend this line down to circle 20. | ||||
26. | Construct a circle centered at the lower intersection of circle 19 and the vertical centerline, tangent to circle 17 at the lower side. | ||||
27. | Copy circle 26 to the center of circle 1. | ||||
28. | Copy circles 21 and 22 to the lower intersection of circle 27 and line 25. | ||||
29. | Construct a circle centered at the upper intersection of circle 26 and the vertical centerline, passing through the center of circle 18. | ||||
30. | Copy circle 29 to the intersection of righthand line 15 and inner circle 28. | ||||
31. | Circles 1, 3, 6, 13, 17, 19, 20, 28 and 30, and lines 15, are used for the final reconstruction. | ||||
32. | Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. pdf-file | ||||
33. | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... pdf-file | ||||
34. | ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the Green Street formation of 29-07-2014. pdf-file | ||||
