\begin{figure}\begin{center}\BoxedEPSF{NobbsPoints.epsf scaled 800}\end{center}\end{figure}

Given a Triangle $\Delta ABC$, construct the Contact Triangle $\Delta DEF$. Then the Nobbs points are the three points $D'$, $E'$, and $F'$ from which $\Delta ABC$ and $\Delta DEF$ are Perspective, as illustrated above. The Nobbs points are Collinear and fall along the Gergonne Line.
