History
Until 1869 all telegraph machines were imported, and in that year the administration began to set up its own factory, which had eleven employees four years later and over a hundred by 1915.6,3 From 1883 to 1891 the ministry sent Darüşşafaka graduates already in its service to study telegraphy in Paris,7,8 and the twelve who had to return when the students were called back in 1892 were given important posts in the ministry.8 In 1901 two of them were deputy directors, Mehmet Bey of the Engineer Office and Ferid Bey of the factory.9
