Mighty Atom model airplane engine 1934

I believe there were handmade model aero engines very early on. Arden engines date from 1909 and possibly before.

But the engines in the middle are not Atoms! Nothing in the middle has anything to do with them.. the assembly shots are much larger engines. So, what is this about?

Is this the ancestor of all model airplane glow engines?

I think the Brown Jr. is recognized as the first model airplane engine, but I could be mistaken.

Shame that a neat old film like this brought out a looney.

I have a Mighty Atom in my collection, it is a real old jewel. Don't see them every day now.
