And this little bit of grey matter is only put straight by reference to the old S76A Flight Training Manual! Sikorsky reference the Phase I/II and the (expected) Phase III as an AFCS, but it was only a SCAS. HeliPilot didn't come along until much later.

gulliBell, the S76 really was delightful to fly with Phase I/II as we didn't know any better! On an ILS that I was flying into Perth Dave Whyte reached over, tapped the AI and declared it was broken because attitude had been unchanged all the way from the OM
