I still have a LM-14: working and accurate.
The LM-14 manual dates from 1943, and as the LM-8 came earlier, could it be 1942 ?

I keep a gifted LM-8 (a Navy version of the BC-221) on my workbench as a frequency generator. Extremely accurate. Nearly 80 years old, I think but I can't find the production date. I also have a nice BC-221 and a third unit (Army version) awaiting restoration. I really like these old units.
