2014 Macmillan Way formation
|
Reconstruction of the 2014 Macmillan Way formation | ||
| 1. |
| Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. |
| 2. |
| Construct the inscribed decagon (regular 10-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up. |
| 3. |
| Construct the inscribed circle of decagon 2. |
| 4. |
| Construct the inscribed decagon of circle 1, pointing to the right. |
| 5. |
| Call the righthand intersection of decagons 2 and 4, just below the horizontal centerline point A. Point B is its diametrical opposite. Draw the centerline of circle 1 passing through point A (and B). |
| 6. |
| Construct a circle centered at the lefthand intersection of circle 3 and the horizontal centerline, passing through the lefthand angular point of decagon 2 above the horizontal centerline. |
| 7. |
| Copy circle 6 twenty-one times in total and number the circles, the first (nr. 1) to the lefthand intersection of circle 1 and line 5, the next ten (nrs. 2 - 11) to the upper intersection of nr. 1 and circle 1, and consecutively to the corresponding intersections, nr. 12 to the lower intersection of nr. 1 and circle 1, and finally the last nine (nrs. 13 - 21) consecutively to the corresponding intersections, as shown. |
| 8. |
| Construct a circle centered at the righthand intersection of circle 6 and the horizontal centerline, passing through the righthand intersection of circle 6 and circle 7 nr. 1. |
| 9. |
| Copy circle 8 to the center of circle 1, and move this circle (copy and delete original) to its lefthand intersection with the horizontal centerline. |
| 10. |
| Copy circle 8 to the lefthand intersection of circles 7 nrs. 11 and 21. |
| 11. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 10 at the lefthand side. |
| 12. |
| Copy circle 11 to point A. |
| 13. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 12 at the righthand side. |
| 14. |
| Construct a line from point A tangent to circle 9 at the upper side, and extend this line to the right upto circle 13. |
| 15. |
| Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the lower intersection of circle 7 nr. 10 and the upper intersection of circle 7 nr. 21 with circle 1. |
| 16. |
| Copy circle 15 to the intersection of circle 13 and line 14. |
| 17. |
| Construct a "two-points" circle between the righthand intersections of circles 1 and 3 with the horizontal centerline. |
| 18. |
| Copy circle 17 two times, to point A and to the center of circle 16. |
| 19. |
| Construct two parallel lines, tangent to circles 18 at both sides. |
| 20. |
| Construct a circle centered at the righthand intersection of circle 3 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to circle 1 at the righthand side. |
| 21. |
| Copy circle 20 to the righthand intersection of circle 11 and the horizontal centerline. |
| 22. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 21 at the lefthand side. |
| 23. |
| Circles 1, 3, 7, 9, 11, 16 and 22, and lines 19, are used for the final reconstruction. |
| 24. |
| Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. |
| 25. |
| Colour all areas corresponding to standing... |
| 26. |
| ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2014 Macmillan Way formation. |
| 27. |
| The final result, matched with the aerial image. |
