G
Using the intersection of the lines constructed in step (6) with each hole’s centerline as the center,
scribe an arc having a radius of 2.00”
H
Draw a line (four lines total) tangent to the each side of the arcs constructed on step (7).
I
There should now be two ovals, like the one in Figure 51-2, laid out on each side of the baggage
