With Owain Glyndwr's dissertation on the THS / Elevator relationship, a reposting of a graphic from a previous thread may help. The Attitude represents the aircraft's longitudinal center-line, and the THS angle is referenced to that, while the Elevator is referenced to the THS chord line.

As depicted, the THS has a slight negative camber.
