The two gear wheels rotate the same way in their own world,
but then you have rotated one of the wheels 180 degrees around
the y-axis, so the result is that they rotate in opposite directions
in your scene. Isn't that what you expected ;-)

L3P simply converts
1 26 x y z a b c d e f g h i 3649.dat
into
object {
_3649_dot_dat
matrix <seam-transformation>
matrix <a,d,g,b,e,h,c,f,i,x,y,z>
#if (version >= 3.1) material #else texture #end { Color26 }
}
So, the matrix simply moves the gear wheel into place just like MLCad (et al) does.
POV applies transformations in the order they appear,
so you can add a rotate before the matrix to rotate the wheel in its own world
before it is put in the proper place in your scene by matrix.
The seam-transformation shrinks the wheel a bit. If it were a brick adjecent to
another brick, they would thus have a small seam between them.
