Let \(ABC\) be an acute angled triangle. Van Lamoen has given the following construction: \(P\) and \(Q\) are a pair of isotomic points lying on \(BC\), the perpendicular to \(BC\) through \(P\) intersects \(AB\) at \(P'\), the perpendicular to \(BC\) through \(Q\) intersects \(AC\) at \(Q'\), if we rotate \(BPP'\) and \(CQQ'\) about \(P'\) and \(Q'\) so that \(P\) and \(Q\) overlap, then also \(B\) and \(C\) overlap at a point \(A'\). The quadrangle \(AP'A'Q'\) is cyclic.NEWLINENEWLINEIf \(S\) is the circumcenter of \(AP'A'Q'\) and \(T\) is the intersection of the tangents at \(B\) and \(C\) to the circumcircle of \(ABC\) this paper proves that the circumcircle of \(AP'A'Q'\) is tangent at \(A'\) to the circle of center \(T\) and radius \(TB=TC\).
