It should be noted that screw pumps can be used to transfer power, even if it's not usable as a pump or the most efficient connector, but only from the front tile.

- You sure about that? Look closely at the picture you reference. The front tile of each pump is connected to the rear tile of the pump above it. The rear tile is where power is applied, either by machine or by dwarf. The front tile is where power is utilized, and where it is transferred from. Only the front tile can transfer power. Only the rear tile can accept power. So, yes, both tiles are utilized in transferring power, the front is the power source, the back is the power receptor.
