Revolved and removed sections are used to show the cross-sectional shape of ribs, spokes, or arms when the shape is not obvious in the regular views...

Frequently the removed section is drawn to an enlarged scale for clarification and easier dimension. Removed sections of symmetrical parts should be placed, whenever possible, on the extension of the centre line.
