Extract
Let α1, β1, γ1, and α2, β2, γ2 be the complex numbers corresponding to the angular points A1, B1, C1 and A2, B2, C2 of two related triangles, T1, T2, in a plane, and let homologous vertices be denoted by the same letters.

page no 2 note * We express the fact that a number z, which is in general complex, has in a particular instance a purely real value, without specifying that value, by writing z = [r]. Similarly, the fact that z is purely imaginary is denoted by writing z =[pi].

page no 5 note * |φ| = 1 implies the existence of one point common to the three circles, but as a consequence of this, the circles meet in a second point. For, if P is the first point common to the three circles, there exists another point Q through which the circles pass, since the equations
are certainly compatible. P and Q are, besides, the two points in the plane whose distances from the vertices A l, B 1, C 1 are proportional to three given lengths.
