Anti-Dalek Weapons was one of the features original to The Dalek World, a Dalek annual of 1965, which were not so much a story as an informative feature on Dalek society. Although mostly non-narrative (and, as such, not currently considered a valid source by this Wiki), it featured a wealth of information about the Dalek spacecrafts forming the titular Dalek Task Force, expanding the catalogue of Dalek ships far beyond the familiar Dalek flying saucer.
The illustration bears the signature Jennings in the bottom-left corner.
Summary
Unispace agent EM2 has stolen a set of diagrams (enclosed) of weapons effective against the Daleks: the silica destructor and the metal fatigue inducer.

- "EM2" is a Unispace agent.
- The metal fatigue inducer work by firing penetron rays which randomise the molecular structure of Dalekanium, thus weakening the casing of the Dalek target.
- The silica destructor is designed to irreparably impair a Dalek eyestalk by projecting a blast of molten glass which, upon touching another surface of glass (the lens of the eyepiece), instantly cools down and renders said surface opaque.
