What's the name of the elevator trim system?

Often when people are visiting the hangar they ask...
What this? what do you call that? never seen anything like this before, tell me about it! etc.
And I want to appear like I know what I'm talking about;)

So it's got me pondering...is there a name for it?
Elevator trim tab stays on one plane while the elevator is moved.
Not earth shattering but would be interesting to know the name or type of system.
Pictures to show what I mean...
