Airliner flight control questions

Hello,
Im here asking about flight controls of a non fly by wire airliner (767, 747, 737 etc)
Ok so I know the basic concept, yoke rudder pedal etc to control rod through artificial feel system to servo hydraulic actuator which moves the surface.
But first, how does the artificial feel system work. Is it a computer or a mechanical system? And what data does it take to do its thing (which vaguely I know its to outcome forces on the surface and for the pilots to feel it)
And what is the control rod made of? Simple metal rod, cable etc.
I would appreciate images of the items stated (control rod, artificial feel system and the servo actuator)
Thanks guys
