Griffiths' theorem

Griffiths' theorem, named after John Griffiths (1837-1916), is a theorem in elementary geometry. It states that all the pedal circles for a points located on a line through the center of the triangle's circumcircle share a common (fixed) point. Such a point defined for a triangle and a line through its circumcenter is called a Griffiths point

Griffiths published the theorem in the Educational Times in 1857. Its later rediscoveries include works by M. Weil in Nouvelles Annales de Mathématiques, 1880, and by W. S. McCay in Transactions of the Royal Irish Academy, 1889.
