Call Me Trimtab — A trim tab is a small surface connected to a control surface on an aircraft or boat. It stabilizes the orientation of the craft, reducing the need for operator input, by influencing the position of the larger control surface. Fuller described a ship’s trim tab as “a miniature rudder” and said “the little individual can be a trim tab,” influencing the direction of society by “doing dynamic things mentally.” (Playboy, February 1972)
