Title to these tapes is never transferred to the customer and there is no transfer or possession when the tapes remain at the location of the time-sharing company's computers and are manipulated by customers only through their remote access to the computers. The time-sharing company is the consumer of the magnetic tapes and its purchases of the tapes are subject to tax. 7/24/85.
