## Opinion text

MR. JUSTICE CASTLES
(concurring and dissenting in part).
I concur in the opinion of the majority except as it applies to the final issue concerning defendant, Ille Electric Co. The thrust of the complaint is against the installation of the whirlpool machine over which Ille Electric had no control. To hold that over 13 years after installation, and summary judgment for the other two defendants, Ille Electric remains liable under the statutes involved is not proper. I would affirm the judgments.
