Thank you
Sorry, I`ll speak English this time! “Auto Controls” is the term used to refer to the autopilot, so yes, I wouldn`t be surprised if the Lincoln used a similar system. The engine set-up would be different as the accessories were primarily fitted to an auxiliary gearbox on the Lincoln.
The autopilot was powered by an oil filled vane type compressor shown fitted to the opposite bank of the engine in the attached picture, and the cooler on a bracket in the foreground. The other image shows the general services (Heywood) air compressor fitted where the cooler goes, on another engine on the same aircraft. I think the cooler was fitted there to take advantage of the cooling air scoop, to save a redesign.
There are two completely different designs of autopilot compressor, RAE and K3, but both used the same oil cooler.

Pete, thank you for the precise and generous ID, diagrams and context. If anybody wants the cooler happy to swap, PM for ” oil cooler, NS, GSOH, looking for aeroplane for fun times and friendship.”
