All combatant lower ranks, i.e. sergeants, captains, fourier corporals, miners, poners and artisans, were armed with guns (guns at that time were called fusees). In addition, the miner's company was supposed to have 50 pairs of pistols, for the miner's self-defense during a mine war. Edged weapons consisted of swords with copper hilts, which were armed with all lower ranks, with the exception of cab drivers. The equipment of each soldier consisted of a canister (of course, only those who were supposed to have guns) for carrying cartridges, backpacks, which were supposed to be corporals, miners, schoners and artisans, and water-carrying flasks for miners, schoners and artisans.

The Minernaia Company, in addition, provided the tools necessary for mine work, consisting of compasses, “machines for moving air in mines,” mine drills with 20 shafts, of different thicknesses (1, 2 and 3 inches), “a pump with sleeves for drawing water out of mine galleries” and other small tools necessary for preparing frames.
The craftsmen's companies carried, in very large quantities, metalworking and carpentry tools, and the schonner company contained the tools necessary for knitting fascines and cutting turf.
According to the above states, 49,212 rubles were allocated for the maintenance of the Engineering Regiment in 1 year. 74 kopecks (this amount included salaries and other allowances, rations for workers, tools, uniforms, equipment, weapons and the purchase of horses).
The salary for the ranks of the Engineer Regiment remained in the same amount as determined by the states in 1728. At the same time, schoners, artisans and junior craftsmen received less than the older miners, namely: 17 rubles. 212 k. per year (the senior miner received 20 rubles 21/2 k.). The colonel of the Engineering Regiment received a salary of 600 rubles, and 125 rubles for rations. 40 kopecks and 36 rubles for cashiers, total 761 rubles. 40 k.
In general, all the support received by officers, sergeants, captains, fouriers and corporals consisted of salaries, money for raschons and money for moneymen (masters, corporals and fouriers were entitled to moneymen and money for them).
Simultaneously with the project on the formation of the Engineer Regiment, Count Shuvalov presented the most detailed report on pontoons and pontoon companies. (See Appendix X and CI).

I consider it necessary to dwell in some detail on the description of the state of the pontoon part (actually the material part) and the use of pontoons during military operations, from the date of their establishment until 1757.
As I said above, the states for the pontoon part were approved by Peter the Great in 1712, on February 8.
Some letters from Peter the Great’s contemporaries concerning the pontoon part have been preserved in the archives!). These letters serve as proof that pontoons already existed and were used during military operations, before 1712, that is, the time when the states were first approved for them by the Highest.
