Lockheed Jetstar.
Don’t know if they called it anything different though.

Just re read your post. The Jetstars fin had a convetional rudder and elevator. But it’s horizontal sabilizer was trimmed, not by moveing the stab on it’s own but by moving the whole fin. I.E The fin’s rear mount was a fixed pivot point and there was a screw jack at the front pivot point. (I wish I could draw a picture on this damm thing!)
