    Starting with the principal centres of a triangle, the author adds a few new and rarely known points, e.g. the intersection of \(NH\) and \(IL\), called \(K\). (\(N\) is the Nagel point, \(H\) the orthocentre, \(I\) the incentre and \(L\) the so-called Longchamps point). He also watches the common point of the normals to the sides of the triangle through the excentres and names it `countercentre' \(J\). Finally he also regards the median point of the triangle \(KLN\), called \(M\). The emerging scheme adds up to a configuration which is `complete' and unveils quite some interesting properties.
