On Apollo 11, Armstrong had to flick a switch to activate or deactivate manual control. On later flights, merely moving the hand controller activated manual control, and letting go of it deactivated manual control.
I read that too, but I thought it said that was employed on Apollo 15.
Hmm i'll have to find the source again now!
