This is the earliest reference I could find:
Morgan, H. K. A multifrequency tuned antenna system,. Electronics, 13, pp. 42-8. August 1940

If you look at the reference list item 12 in this paper it appears that the paper's author did his PHD thesis on trapped cylindrical antennas: D. Smith, "The trap-loaded cylindrical antenna," in /IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation/, vol. 23, no. 1, pp. 20-27, January 1975, doi: 10.1109/TAP.1975.1141000.

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)
