Given a triangle , let , , be the feet of the perpendiculars to the sides opposite , , . (These perpendiculars are the altitudes, drawn dashed red; they intersect at the orthocenter .) Draw two perpendiculars each from , , to the sides of to get six green points. These six points are concyclic, defining the Taylor circle with Kimberling center [1].
