3Take each point x as a centre from x to v as a radius, and continue the curve from v to the line VV.
5Open the compasses to the width of 4 parts, place one foot on point 56, mark the 2 points to zz.
7Take each z as a centre, open the compasses to the point where the arcs last drawn joins the line VV, and continue the curve from the line VV to the line RR.
9Mark off on line GG two points oo, each distant from the perpendicular 24 1/2 parts: open the compasses from point o to point f on either side, and draw the curve from point f to the line FF.
11On line II mark on each side of the perpendicular at the distance of 14 2/3 parts from the perpendicular 2 points mm; open the compasses from m to where the curve joins the line HH, and trace on each side the curve from the last mentioned point to the point n.
