BlenderPilot and autorotate,
This is a Djinn SO 1221, I logged about 150 H crop spraying back in 1976, and I crashed one.
The engine produces compressed air which is ejected at the blades tip, hence no need for a T/R.

BlenderPilot,
Yaw control by a rudder like fixed wings, in hover the engine exhaust provides the airstream to the rudder, not very effective though, depending on the crosswind for example to turn 90 to the right it may be easier to turn 270 to the left.
Cheers

TC - Thanks for the comments and glad you like them, pubs and pics that is. I just try to capture dynamic type images that show helicopters doing what they do best.
I have some other "!!!! Hot" type images with helos in 'unique' angles but if I post them here will get rained on by those saying it doesnt show helicopters in a professional light etc.
