Engineering curves 17 . EEET Department. Electrical Engineering Drawing Draw perpendiculars through these points above and below the axis. The perpendiculars intersect the line OEG at 1’, 2’, 3’, 4’, 5’ and 6’. With centre F and radius 11’, draw arcs to cut the perpendicular drawn through 1 at P1 above and P1’ below the axis. Similarly, points P2, P2’, P3, P3’, P4, P4’, P5, P5’, P6 and P6’ are obtained following the same procedure. Draw a smooth curve passing through the points V, P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, V1, P6’, P5’, P4’, P3’, P2’, P1’ and V to obtain the curve ellipse.
