Hi!

I am doing a study into the early use of silicon diodes in radar and

What I would be interested in is as follows:

-type numbers of the diodes

1N23 is a good place to start.

The 1N23 didn't appear until the '50's, I believe.

Not only that it was germanium not silicon.

Do you have a solid reference for that? "Credible" references I found said
they were silicon.
