2005 Lurkeley Hill formation
|
Reconstruction of the 2005 Lurkeley Hill formation | ||
| 1. |
| Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. |
| 2. |
| Copy circle 1 to its righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline, and move (copy and delete original) this circle to its own righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline. |
| 3. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 2 at the righthand side. |
| 4. |
| Construct a circle centered at the righthand intersection of circle 3 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to circle 2 at the lefthand side. |
| 5. |
| Copy circle 4 to its righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline. |
| 6. |
| Copy circle 4 to the righthand intersection of circle 5 and the horizontal centerline. |
| 7. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 4 at the righthand side. |
| 8. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 5 at the righthand side. |
| 9. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 6 at the righthand side. |
| 10. |
| Copy circle 8 two times, to its righthand and upper intersections with the horizontal and vertical centerlines, respectively. |
| 11. |
| Draw the connecting line between both intersections of circles 10. |
| 12. |
| Construct the inscribed dodecagon (regular 12-sided polygon) of circle 9, with one angular point coincident with the intersection of circle 9 and line 11. |
| 13. |
| Draw the twelve rays of dodecagon 12, and number these starting with the rightmost one just above the horizontal centerline, counterclockwise, as shown. |
| 14. |
| Copy circles 1 and 3 together four times, to the intersections of circle 9 and rays 13 nrs. 2, 5, 8 and 11. |
| 15. |
| Copy circle 1 four times, to the intersections of circle 3 and rays 13 nrs. 2, 5, 8 and 11. |
| 16. |
| Copy circle 1 eight times, to the intersections of circle 7 and rays 13 nrs. 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 12. |
| 17. |
| Copy circle 1 eight times, to the intersections of circle 9 and rays 13 nrs. 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 12. |
| 18. |
| Circles 1, 3, 7, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16 and 17 make up all necessary parts for the reconstruction. |
| 19. |
| Leave out the parts not visible within the formation itself. |
| 20. |
| Colour all areas corresponding to standing... |
| 21. |
| ...or to flattened crop, to finish the reconstruction of the 2005 Lurkeley Hill formation. |
| 22. |
| The final result, matched with the aerial image. |
