It's a touch distracting, but there is some smart stuff going on to make them line up. Sadly the CSS is optimized, which makes understanding its implementation a little tough, but i suspect it'd make for fun reading!

The background is a canvas element - the gear turning is implemented with javascript.

Thanks, I should have said CSS/JS, it too is impossible to read due to the optimization.
