Aren’t these early Whirlpool/Kenmore gas dryers standing pilot ignition or are they electronic ignition?

This has electric ignition, MT even had electric  ignition at this time.

 

I have a restored pair of these FE machines one model year newer with the pretty colored buttons that light up.

Is the electronic ignition a glow type igniter or is it the type of ignition system they lights a small pilot then opens the main gas valve after 30 to 40 seconds? Never seen the ignition sequence on these older Whirlpool/Kenmore gas dryers and have only seen the ignition sequence on my Maytag HOH gas dryer from 1973 and 1981 Maytag DG810 that uses a glow type igniter that all newer gas dryers use.
