Hmmm, breakout procedures.
These were on the B707 as well.

However, there is one well designed first generation wide-body jet transport airplane that does not need this breakout procedure, it uses something else, a 'Pull Roll Disconnect' handle, on the right hand side of the throttle pedestal, to accomplish much of the same procedure.
Roll problems encountered?
Pull Roll Disconnect handle, end of drama.
Simple as that.

Of course, it's on the L1011....no surprise there.
