:The gear toggles do indeed toggle instantly. However, although logic can be done with power transmission, ultimately power only affects screw pumps and millstones, while pressure plates and levers affect a long [[Lever#On.2FOff_states|list]] of things. So a screw pump pumping onto a pressure plate will almost certainly have to be involved if one intends to use gears. My testing has shown conclusively that a screw pump continues to pump for 50 steps after losing power. This is true for both manual and automatic pumps. One way to see this is that the screw pump animation (which cycles between two characters every 25 steps, apparently using a modulo of a global time counter) changes to its inactive state exactly 50 steps after power is removed, regardless of when the animation would normally change. In addition to this, my tests have shown that water continues to be pumped for exactly 50 steps after power is lost, and no longer. I encourage you to do your own testing if you aren't convinced. Although I'm totally convinced, it would probably be a good idea for someone else to confirm my observations before the wiki article is changed. --[[User:Hussell|Hussell]] 18:38, 13 November 2009 (UTC) | :The gear toggles do indeed toggle instantly.
