[TowerTalk] Trapped Antenna in the "formal" literature?

I'm looking for a paper reference to basic trapped antenna design and performance, preferably in something like an IRE or AIEE journal (I'm sure it's pre-IEEE).
I'm writing a paper and I make a reference to "yeah, you could do this with traps, but here's a different way" and a reviewer (who is obviously not a ham) said "what's a trapped antenna". And rather than write paragraphs about L/C resonant circuits and how they work in an antenna, I'd like to just say:
Trapped antennas as described by [Maxwell, 1862, Rayleigh, 1903, and Pocklington, 1897] were explored, but suitable trap configurations could not be found.
(Obviously, Maxwell, Rayleigh, and Pocklington didn't talk about trapped antennas)
