Inside a Dalek (feature)

Inside a Dalek, or The Anatomy of a Dalek, was one of the non-narrative but in-universe features published in Terry Nation's Dalek Special. Essentially an update on Anatomy of the Dalek from the first Dalek annual, it incorporated new concepts from the television series (such as Davros) and its illustration depicted a Grey Dalek casing instead of the 1960s Dalek War Machine, thus accounting for the vast technological shifts.

Although not accepted as a valid source by this wiki due to not, strictly speaking, being a story, it remains a highly noteworthy part of Doctor Who history as one of the most widely-reproduced glimpses into the inner workings of Dalek technology, straight from the pen of their creator Terry Nation.

Summary
The Daleks of Skaro's drive to create the perfect destructive machine has led them to improve the Dalek casing again and again over the centuries. The Space Intelligence Service releases a report of its findings on the current inner workings of the casing, though it remains incomplete.
