How do you activate and use the Tiller on a commercial liner such as a 737,757,767,etc?

Eugene Ely answers are correct..........with the note that I've seen a lot of science teachers answers and they are usually spot on.....so I'd check that answer too.......since Langley was the first real aircraft carrier...a long uninterrupted flight deck that you could land and take off from, rather than the improvised flying off platforms on Birmingham and Pennsylvania, I'd go with STs answer....
