Detail of the chain leading to/from the jet vane mounting plate below.

Picture 3 of 4.

I am uncertain as to whether the drive unit is located below, directly driving a jet vane and adjusting the chain to turn the gear connected to an air rudder drive shaft, or whether the drive unit is located in the fin, directly driving the air rudder and turning the shaft connected to the gear to move the jet vane.
