And for the sake of perfection, I have explained the similarity of this procedure established in 0 THOSE PONTONS of the State, as well as the regulations about pontoon positions, in what kind of command one should be and in what cases how to act, as well as about the appeals of this corps and about officer positions and about other behavior that in different cases can happen in practice, which to this day is nowhere to be found. it was not prescribed, but with them the necessary need is recognized and this is due, and at the same time the next thing seems to be of high quality; Since the tin pontoons now consist of the above-described inconvenience, and besides, having served their terms for a long time, it is very dangerous to rely on them, so that they can no longer be suitable, instead of which it is necessary to reason, without missing a convenient time, to quickly begin to float them again, and for this reason, will it not be deigned to In the creation of the aforementioned number of 90 pontoons, the required number of sheet mfdi is now deliberately prepared at state-owned factories, on account of the lump sum amount relying on the pontoons, to be released, so that through this in the creation of those pontoons, the most complete success could be: for behind the nvimphnem under Artillery, such a mjdi will be speedy in that necessary matter It is impossible to achieve success, so to this day not only has there been a stoppage, but there has been no conception; why, in what proportion of honey sheets per ton of 90 pontoons, it is necessary to determine the Office and the Main Artillery and Fortifications, making a detailed report to the TT factories immediately, and in the meantime, let’s do it. The parts are being prepared by the Artillery, and drawings for the pontoons are being prepared, showing plans and profiles as they should be with the utmost observation, without relying on the previous tin pontoons, because the pontoons, which are a great burden against them, require latitude, and especially excessive height, and according to those drawings, make exemplary one or two pontoons, which have been inspected and laid down, order the artillery and the foundation of all these pontoons to be prepared with wooden and iron work, so that when the sheets are sent, there will be no more work left for their plating.
