Yes, it did. However, this was a rudimentary system that merely coupled a link between the operation of the (very effective) dive brakes and a pre-set elevator nose down trim bias and, a reset of those settings upon a signal from the contact altimeter. The recovery was therefore, more of a simple automated function. If the pilot mis-set the contact altimeter (baro), recovery might not be achieved...depending upon the error!
