% Two solutions may be considered for
% this construction. The first (and the
% one which is done here) is to put the
% two centers of circles at a predeterminated
% distance $a$ from each others (namely $a = 4u$)
% and do the construction hoping that edges
% will fit the right bound.
% The second one consists in calculating that
% distance $a$ to make sure that edges will lie
% on the right bound (the calculations are shown
% commentated). The problem with this method
% is that there is no control of the clear part's
% width of the drawing. Moreover, when the inner
% radius become too small there is no more solution
% to that problem (see below). 
%
%% The actual width of the drawing must be 10u.
%% The problem is to calculate the distance
%% between the two centers to make it work.
%% Alas when the two radius are too far from
%% each over, this problem has no solution.

%% 3.5u = 10u-6.5u = (inner width)-radius.
