how does the screw drive work do the elements in the converter move or stay fixed if there fixed does the focusing take place in the lens atached to the converter

99% of AF teleconverters are fixed so the lens is doing the focusing.

The exception is the Pentax 1.7x which moves and does the majority of the focusing while the lens is fixed. The TC needs a manual helping hand to get close to the focus point and then takes over.

Hence the reason it so so good for manual focus lenses.
