Consider the following construction in a circle. Choose points $A, B, C$ on the given circle such that $\angle ABC$ is $60^\circ$. Draw another circle that is tangential to the chords $AB$, $BC$ and to the original circle. Do the above construction in the unit circle to obtain a circle $S_1$. Repeat the process in $S_1$ to obtain another circle $S_2$. What is the radius of $S_2$?
