There would-be present the physical annexation, the adaptation to use with, that part of the realty to which they were annexed, and there; would be present the intention to make them permanent aeees-j sions to the realty. Actually there is present in this ease the’ two latter elements, and there is only lacking the tenuous physi-j cal connection of the assumed ease.

It was the intention that they should be part of the equipment of the realty.’ ””
