Jetex Atom 35

Claimed to be the smallest rocket motor in the world, the Jetex Atom 35 was of a simple yet successful design that was also employed on other motors.
The pellet had a hollow on the bottom, that sat on a conical metal end shield, and prevented the surge of thrust at the end of the motor run which was common in the small motors. It tended to suffer from "blow back", which could be obviated by a slight increase in the spring tension. Most pellets were a tight fit in the main case, which, being of a thin gauge, was easily dented, making loading more difficult.
Somewhat of a novelty, wick loading proved tedious and the duration of the Atom 35 appeared too short to stimulate interest.
