Re:40 uses for Germanium Diodes (1950) [pdf] by greenyoda on Monday June 01, 2020 @05:45AM (#23376777)
No copyright date appears in this document, but it was apparently published before 1963 (since it lists a U.S. address that uses a postal zone rather than a ZIP code).

Sylvania's 1N34 diode became available in 1946[1], so the document may date from as early as then.
