A starting point would be:
Invertebrate Structure and Function. 1967 (reprinted at least to 1974) by
E. J. W. Barrington. (Pub by Thomas Nelson.)
And
Trueman, E. R. 1975. The Locomotion of Soft-Bodied Animals. (Elsevier
Publishing Company)
Perhaps:
Merz, R. A., & D. R. Edwards. 1998. Jointed setae - their role in locomotion
and gait transitions in polychaete worms. — Journal of Experimental Marine
Biology and Ecology 228:273-290.,
Wootton, R., J. 1999. Invertebrate paraxial locomotory appendages: Design,
deformation and control. — Journal of Experimental Biology 202:3333-
3345.
