The opinion

Taet, C. J.,

dissenting in part. I concur in what is said in the majority opinion with respect to the Central Station contracts being excepted from sales tax.

However, I dissent from that portion of the judgment holding taxable local alarm and direct connect systems. In my opinion, Federal Sign & Signal Corp. v. Bowers, Tax Commr., 172 Ohio St. 161 , requires the conclusion that there was no transfer of possession within the meaning of Section 5739.01(B).
