Hi!
I am doing a study into the early use of silicon diodes in radar and
communication equipment during the Second World War.
What I would be interested in is as follows:
-type numbers of the diodes
---
1N23 is a good place to start.

Oops... brain fart.
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.
The most conclusive evidence i know of, is someone here who actually
put one to test and the result was germanium. A heck of a lot of
"official" or "authoritative" records are pure fertilizer.
I'd chock that one up to undecided.
