Profile of the group: Technical and stores

No source read describes Tutun Fabrika Memuru by itself, so this is the profile of its group of job titles.

Technical offices of the Post and Telegraph ministry, among them the telegraph factory, the Engineer Office (mühendis kalemi) and the science office (fen kalemi). The factory, opened in 1869, made and repaired telegraph instruments, batteries and postal goods; the science office was directed for years by the French electrician Emile Lacoine.

History

Until 1869 all telegraph machines were imported. From 1883 the ministry sent graduates of Darüşşafaka to study telegraphy in Paris; those who returned were given posts of importance, and in 1901 two of them held posts at the head of the Engineer Office and of the factory.
