Cutaway Drawings
A cutaway drawing is another special type of pictorial drawing. In a cutaway, as the
name implies, the component or system has a portion cut away to reveal the internal
parts of the component or system. Figure 15 is an illustration of a cutaway. This
type of drawing is extremely helpful in the maintenance and training areas where the
way internal parts are assembled is important.
