Default RE: Heading rotation when autorotating?

Guess I misunderstood the definition of a driven tail...for my own intererst what is a driven tail?

It drives the tail rotor from the main rotor/auto hub so you have tail rotor control during an auto.

A non-driven tail will stop in an auto to remove the drag of the tail drive system and allow the main rotor to maintain rpm longer.
