1) Bernard Gibert (- see the notes just above X(2081) in ETC -) described the transform, given for X=(u:v:w) (barycentrics) by
NK(X) = (a^2(c^2v^2+b^2w^2)u : b^2(a^2w^2+c^2u^2)v : c^2(b^2u^2+a^2v^2)w).
NK(X) is the pole of the line XX* with respect to the conic that passes through points A, B, C, X, and X* (X* denote the isogonal conjugate of X).
2) The NK-Transform can be generalized to the NKG-transform, given for X=(p:q:r) and Y=(u:v:w) by
NKG(X,Y) = (p^2(r^2v^2+q^2w^2)u : q^2(p^2w^2+r^2u^2)v : r^2(q^2u^2+p^2v^2)w).
NKG(X,Y) is the pole of the line YY* with respect to the conic that passes through points A, B, C, Y, and Y* (Y*=X2×Y•=(p^2vw:q^2wu:r^2uv) denote the barycentric product: (barycentric square of the X)×(isotomic conjugate of Y).
NK(P)=NKG(I,P), I the incenter of the triangle ABC.
3) Another geometric property of NKG (X, Y):
Let Xa, Xb and Xc be the harmonic associates of X=(p:q:r), i.e,
Xa=(-p:q:r), Xb=(p:-q:r) and Xc=(p:q:-r).
The triangle XaXbXc is called the precevian triangle
of X.
The polar lines of Y with respect to all the conics of the pencil of conics Φ, passing through X, Xa, Xb and Xc, are concurrent at Y*=X2×Y• (which is the pole of Y in the pencil of conics).
The two fixed points of the involution on the line YY* generated by the pencil Φ are Y and Y*.
Let γ(Y) be the conic of the pencil Φ passing through X, Xa, Xb, Xc and Y, and let γ(Y*) be the conic of the pencil passing through X, Xa, Xb, Xc and Y*. The conics γ(Y) and γ(Y*) are tangent to YY*.
The eight tangents to the conics γ(Y) and γ(Y*) in X, Xa, Xb, Xc are tangent to a the same conic Γ, and the pole of the line YY* with respect to the conic Γ is NKG(X,Y).
In fact, the polar of Y respect to the conic Γ is the tangent in Y* to the circumconic passing through Y and Y*, and the polar of the Y* respect to Γ is the tangent in Y to the circumconic passing through Y and Y*.

4) Equations of the conics &gamma(Y), &gamma(Y*) and &Gamma:
γ(Y): (q^2w^2-r^2v^2)x^2 + (r^2u^2-p^2w^2)y^2 +(p^2v^2-q^2u^2)z^2=0.
γ(Y*): q^2r^2u^2(r^2v^2-q^2w^2)x^2 + r^2p^2v^2(p^2w^2-r^2u^2)y^2 + p^2q^2w^2(q^2u^2-p^2v^2)z^2=0.
Γ: (q^2w^2-r^2v^2)x^2/(p^2(r^2v^2+q^2w^2)) + (r^2u^2-p^2w^2)y^2/(q^2(p^2w^2+r^2u^2)) +
(p^2v^2-q^2u^2)z^2/(r^2(q^2u^2+p^2v^2))=0.
