McCay Circle

If the Vertex $A_1$ of a Triangle describes the Neuberg Circle $n_1$, its Median Point describes a circle whose radius is 1/3 that of the Neuberg Circle. Such a Circle is known as a McKay circle, and the three McCay circles are Concurrent at the Median Point $M$. Three homologous collinear points lie on the McCay circles.
