gents, anyone able to asnwer these: https://www.pprune.org/rumours-news/619272-ethiopian-airliner-down-africa.html#post10441180
How much of trim displacement in units is one spin of the manual wheel on the MAX/NG?

About the yoke elec trim thumb rocker switches
- do they control the actuators/motor directly in analogue, or only send signals to some sort of FCS logical subunit?
- what is the logic for simultaneous inputs L+/-R?

Is there an authoritative answer, whether or not the re-activation (after the 5 sec denial period) of MCAS software routine could override a live, running trim command from the elec thumb switches?
help appreciated.
