Gergonne line
Proof:$A'B'$ is the polar of $C,$
$AB$ is the polar of $C',$
by La Hire's theorem,
$C''$ is the pole of $CC'.$
Similarly,
$A''$ is the pole of $AA',$
$B''$ is the pole of $BB'.$
Since their polars $AA', BB',$ and $CC'$ are concurrent (in the Gergonne point $\rm Ge$), the poles $A'', B'',$ and $C''$ are collinear to a line (the Gergonne line, naturally.)
