-* "Mk I Dalek" is the fan name given to the first model of Dalek [[casing]]s, as seen in [[TV]]: ''[[The Daleks (TV story)|The Daleks]]'' and [[COMIC]]: ''[[Genesis of Evil (comic story)|Genesis of Evil]]'', some of whom were also seen on the restored [[Skaro]] attending to the dying Davros in [[TV]]: ''[[The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)|The Magician's Apprentice]]''. They are distinguishable by their lack of slats. In this terminology, the "Mk II" is the Dalek design with the dish from [[TV]]: ''[[The Dalek Invasion of Earth (TV story)|The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]'', with the "Mk III" — tying back to the designation of the standard Dalek casing from ''[[Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)|Genesis of the Daleks]]'' — being for the one with slats first seen in [[TV]]: ''[[The Chase (TV story)|The Chase]]''.<ref>[http://www.projectdalek.co.uk/mainsite/index.php/dalek-plans Naming convention] by Project Dalek</ref> Within in-universe sources, however, there is little room given for Davros' Mark I Travel Machines to correspond to the Daleks in ''[[The Daleks (TV story)|The Daleks]]'', as the clear intent behind ''[[Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)|Genesis of the Daleks]]'' was that it took place prior to ''The Daleks''. The term of [[Dalek War Machine]] is given instead, in [[COMIC]]: ''[[Genesis of Evil (comic story)|Genesis of Evil]]'', as the original name for the casings seen in the first few Dalek television stories.

The ''[[Dalek Combat Training Manual (novel)|Dalek Combat Training Manual]]'' would later name the "Mk I" and "Mk II" Dalek models as [[Type I Dalek|''Type'' I]] and [[Type II Dalek|''Type'' II]].
 * The ''[[Davros Connections (documentary)|Davros Connections]]'' documentary depicts what the Mark I looks like in an animation matching an extract of the "[[Guilt (audio story)|Guilt]]" audio. In it, a black sphere on grey skirt color scheme was used, no actual top casing existed but only a bare metal framework over a green mutant linked to a green luminescent sphere behaving like a [[Luminosity discharger]] and an [[eyestalk]].
