My understanding is that prior to reaching M1,with the increase in speed the C/pressure moves aft on the wing allowing the nose to pitch/move down-hence the requirement for the Pitch trim Comp'....Used as such on the DC8/Learjet,comes into play above Mo.78,but the airflow isn't at M1,hence no 'shock'buffet.
cheers
