Place a stake at each of these points, and from each one of these as a centre, and with twice the radius formerly used, describe the arc of a circle which will connect with the circum- ferences of the smaller circles. The outline of the figure is now complete. A rougher method and one much more gen- erally used, is to first mark the major axis. At a distance slightly less than one third of that axis, and from one end of it, drive another stake. From the other end of the line measure off the same distance and drive another stake. Now take a cord fastened loosely to each of. With AB as the major axis, insert stakes at D and C. Fasten a cord to the two stakes D and C, but long enough to pass round B. Removing B, and keeping the cord drawn tight, mark the outline of the figure, as Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Barron, Leonard, 1868-1938.
