Reconstruction of the
2020 Smeathe's Plantation formation |
|
1. |
| Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines.
|
|
2. |
| Construct the inscribed regular 18-sided polygon of circle 1, pointing up.
|
|
3. |
| Draw the eighteen rays of polygon 2, from the center to the angular points. Number these rays, as well as the angular points, clockwise, 1 - 18, starting at the top.
|
|
4. |
| Draw the connecting line between angular points (of polygon) 2 nrs. 3 and 17.
|
|
5. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to line 4.
|
|
6. |
| Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between angular points 2 nrs. 4 and 5.
|
|
7. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 6, passing through the intersection of ray 3 nr. 1 and line 4.
|
|
8. |
| Draw the connecting line between angular points 2 nrs. 1 and 7.
|
|
9. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the intersection of ray 3 nr. 3 and line 8.
|
|
10. |
| Draw the connecting line between the intersections of circle 9 with rays 3 nrs. 1 and 7.
|
|
11. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the intersection of ray 3 nr. 3 and line 10.
|
|
12. |
| Copy circle 6 to the center of circle 1.
|
|
13. |
| Construct a circle centered at the righthand intersection of circle 11 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to circle 12 at the righthand side.
|
|
14. |
| Copy circle 13 to the center of circle 1.
|
|
15. |
| Construct a circle centered at the intersection of ray 3 nr. 1 and line 4, passing through the intersection of circle 9 and ray 3 nr. 5.
|
|
16. |
| Copy circle 15 to the center of circle 1.
|
|
17. |
| Construct a circle centered at the intersection of ray 3 nr. 1 and line 4, tangent to circle 16 at the upper side.
|
|
18. |
| Copy circle 17 two times, to its lefthand and righthand intersections with circle 5.
|
|
19. |
| Repeat step 18 eight times, with respect to rays 3 nrs. 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, and 17.
|
|
20. |
| Copy circle 17 to its own upper intersection with ray 3 nr. 1.
|
|
21. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 20 at the upper side.
|
|
22. |
| Copy circle 17 to the intersection of ray 3 nr. 10 and circle 21.
|
|
23. |
| Copy circle 17 two times, to the lefthand and righthand intersections of circle 22 with circle 21.
|
|
24. |
| Repeat step 23 eight times, with respect to rays 3 nrs. 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 14, 16, and 18.
|
|
25. |
| Copy circle 7 seventeen times, to the corresponding positions (mid-points) of the other sides of polygon 2.
|
|
26. |
| Circles 1, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 19, 23, 24, and 25, are used for the final reconstruction.
|
|
27. |
| Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself.
|
|
28. |
| Colour all areas corresponding to standing...
|
|
29. |
| ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2020 Smeathe's Plantation formation.
|
|
30. |
| The final result, matched with the aerial image.
