Shoulder band

The shoulder sections of Dalek casings were supported by bands.

The smaller middle section of the Dalek Prime's Emperor Type 2 casing sported gold bands. (PROSE: Dalek Survival Guide)

In the bronze Daleks, the band which connected the middle weapons platform to the lower base unit was coloured bronze for the majority. However, on some bronze Daleks, such as the "Metaltron", the band was gold. (TV: Dalek, Bad Wolf / The Parting of the Ways) This minority of bronze Daleks shared this trait with the red-and-gold Supreme Daleks.
