[figure 15]
the distance L is reduced to 1,37 B when two hours of shadow are
acceptable.
Following on are the 12 towers of the second ring, of
which 6 are hidden by those of the first ring and 6 at a
distance (axis-to-axis) of √3 times Lx of the central tower
or 253 m (or 139 m), their projected shadow is behind by
2 hours in relation to that of the towers of the first ring.
Thus it is to 12 towers of 18 of the third ring (the 6
others being hidden by the interior rings), that the L/H
rule applies. They are at √7 times Lx of the central tower
