Reconstruction of the 2014 Buckle Street formation | ||
| 1. |
| Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. |
| 2. |
| Construct the inscribed octagon (regular 8-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up. |
| 3. |
| Construct a "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the center of circle 1 and its righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline. |
| 4. |
| Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 3, pointing to the left. |
| 5. |
| Construct a circle, passing through the righthand intersection of circle 1 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to both lefthand sides of triangle 4. |
| 6. |
| Copy circle 5 to the righthand angular point of octagon 2. |
| 7. |
| Copy circle 5 seven times, to the other angular points of octagon 2. |
| 8. |
| Construct the inscribed circle of triangle 4. |
| 9. |
| Copy circle 8 to the center of circle 1. |
| 10. |
| Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 9, pointing up. |
| 11. |
| Construct the inscribed circle of triangle 10. |
| 12. |
| Construct a "two-points" circle between the intersections of circle 6 and upper righthand circle 7 with the righthand side of octagon 2 just above the horizontal centerline. |
| 13. |
| Copy circle 12 four times, the first to the righthand intersection of circle 11 and the horizontal centerline, the others consecutively to the corresponding intersection of its preceding one. |
| 14. |
| Construct four circles concentric to circle 1, tangent to circles 13 at the righthand sides. |
| 15. |
| Construct a circle, tangent to the outer circle 14 at the upper righthand side, tangent to circle 6 at the upper lefthand side, and tangent to the upper righthand circle 7 at the lower lefthand side. |
| 16. |
| Copy circle 12 to the righthand intersection of outer circle 14 and the horizontal centerline. |
| 17. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 16 at the righthand side. |
| 18. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 15, tangent to circle 17 at the upper righthand side. |
| 19. |
| Construct the inscribed octagon of a circle concentric to circle 1 and passing through the center of circle 18, with one angular point coincident with that center. |
| 20. |
| Copy circle 18 seven times, to the other angular points of octagon 19. |
| 21. |
| Construct a "two-points" circle between the center of circle 12 and its tangent point with circle 6. |
| 22. |
| Copy circle 21 to the center of circle 18. |
| 23. |
| Construct two circles concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 22 at both sides. |
| 24. |
| Construct a circle centered at the lefthand intersection of circle 6 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to outer circle 23 at the righthand side. |
| 25. |
| Copy circle 24 to the center of circle 6. |
| 26. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 25 at the righthand side. |
| 27. |
| Circles 1, 6, 7, 11, 14, 18, 20, 23, and 26, are used for the final reconstruction. |
| 28. |
| Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. |
| 29. |
| Colour all areas corresponding to standing... |
| 30. |
| ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2014 Buckle Street formation. |
| 31. |
| The final result, matched with the aerial image. |
