A shell bounded by two similar Ellipsoids having a constant ratio of axes. Given a Chord passing through a homeoid, the distance between inner and outer intersections is equal on both sides. Since a spherical shell is a symmetric case of a homeoid, this theorem is also true for spherical shells (Concentric Circles in the Plane), for which it is easily proved by symmetry arguments.
