Gossard perspector
In geometry the Gossard perspector (also called the Zeeman–Gossard perspector) is a special point associated with a plane triangle. It is a triangle center and it is designated as X(402) in Clark Kimberling's Encyclopedia of Triangle Centers. The point was named Gossard perspector by John Conway in 1998 in honour of Harry Clinton Gossard who discovered its existence in 1916. Later it was learned that the point had appeared in an article by Christopher Zeeman published during 1899 – 1902. From 2003 onwards the Encyclopedia of Triangle Centers has been referring to this point as Zeeman–Gossard perspector.
Let ABC be any triangle. Let the Euler line of triangle ABC meet the sidelines BC, CA and AB of triangle ABC at D, E and F respectively. Let AgBgCg be the triangle formed by the Euler lines of the triangles AEF, BFD and CDE, the vertex Ag being the intersection of the Euler lines of the triangles BFD and CDE, and similarly for the other two vertices. The triangle AgBgCg is called the Gossard triangle of triangle ABC.
Let ABC be any triangle and let AgBgCg be its Gossard triangle. Then the lines AAg, BBg and CCg are concurrent. The point of concurrence is called the Gossard perspector of triangle ABC.

The construction yielding the Gossard triangle of a triangle ABC can be generalised to produce triangles A'B'C' which are congruent to triangle ABC and whose sidelines are parallel to the sidelines of triangle ABC.
This result is due to Christipher Zeeman.
Let l be any line parallel to the Euler line of triangle ABC. Let l intersect the sidelines BC, CA, AB of triangle ABC at X, Y, Z respectively. Let A'B'C' be the triangle formed by the Euler lines of the triangles AYZ, BZX and CXY. Then triangle A'B'C' is congruent to triangle ABC and its sidelines are parallel to the sidelines of triangle ABC.
