Not many people know this but I invented looping by placing a piece of cardboard over the erase head of a WEM copicat tape delay unit.
It was only much later that I discovered that other people had also discovered it using other means ;-)

Stockhausen is known to have used the technique

afaik Stockhausen had a completely different technique
using just one tape deck with an actual loop of tape.

The tape heads were reordered, so instead of going
Erase>Rec>Playback like in a regular deck
they were changed to
Playback>Erase>Record.
