Like an autopilot in a boat, it moves the actual steering wheel (Note for Sunfish - I know it's a Helm).

They are not seperate systems normally; if you jam the manual trim you jam the auto trim, just like the autopilot, if you jam the yoke, you jam the autopilot, however if you jam the autopilot, you don't jam the yoke because you can over-ride the servo with the built-in failsafe.
