A big part of the original Dalek story was the fact that the rotten swine from Skaro were unable to leave their compound because they drew their power up through the floor using static electricity. Well, that plus the need for a low center of gravity. It must be hard for Daleks to tell who is talking, especially with their lack of depth perception. And they must need to breathe, right? So the production team replaced them with bigger wheels, which required a larger pelmet around the bottom of the Dalek skirts to hide them.
To explain how Daleks could suddenly get out and about, they also added a satellite dish at the back, so that it looked like the Daleks could pick up power from a transmitter far away. They also developed the ability to swim what happened to static electricity? This design dominates classic Doctor Who , changing little over the next sixteen years.

According to Terry Nation's Dalek Annual 's feature on Davros , the globes attached to his chair were "disc sensors" which each had different functions, each registering an aspect of humanoid touch such as sensitivity to heat and cold.
