Several observations about Maneeals - a peculiar system of lines

For an arbitrary triangle ABC and an integer n we define points D_n, E_n, F_n on the sides BC, CA, AB respectively, in such a manner that |AC|n|AB|n=|CDn||BDn|,|AB|n|BC|n=|AEn||CEn|,|BC|n|AC|n=|BFn||AFn|. $$\matrix{{{{\left| {AC} \right|^n } \over {\left| {AB} \right|^n }} = {{\left| {CD_n } \right|} \over {\left| {BD_n } \right|}},} \hfill & {{{\left| {AB} \right|^n } \over {\left| {BC} \right|^n }} = {{\left| {AE_n } \right|} \over {\left| {CE_n } \right|}},} \hfill & {{{\left| {BC} \right|^n } \over {\left| {AC} \right|^n }} = {{\left| {BF_n } \right|} \over {\left| {AF_n } \right|}}.}} $$ Cevians AD_n, BE_n, CF_n are said to be the Maneeals of order n. In this paper we discuss some properties of the Maneeals and related objects.
