What does "cut a tape" mean, and why and where does that come from?

(This is something we would commonly say; someone is
trying to track down the history of this phrase.
I'll refrain from posting my interpretation here.)


1. To record a tape. Probably a follow-on to the notion of cutting an
acetate, where the disc would physically be cut.

2. To edit tape.
