Turkey
This page will naturally bear a relation to the Ottoman Empire and will serve in the shorter term as a structural repository for leads on further research.
TR is the nation code abbreviation for Turkey, within this wiki, and elsewhere.
The present Turkish alphabet was mandated in 1928 as part of Atatürk's Reforms.[1] Should we find any patents filed with the Turkish or Ottoman government, during the period on which we are focused, we will quite likely be dealing with a Turkish variation of the Arabic script.
We have the latter-mentioned contemporaneous Arabic script physically on hand, within Vocabularies: English, German, Magyar, Serbian, Bulgarian, Roumanian, Greek, Turkish, compiled on behalf of the Admiralty and the War Office, Admiralty War Staff Intelligence Division, No. 01024, September, 1915.
