  Birney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Birney or Birney Safety Car is a small light streetcar intended to be an economical means of providing frequent service at a lower infrastructure and labor cost than conventional streetcars.
The Birney car was the 1916 invention of Charles O. Birney, an engineer with the firm of Stone and Webster, an operator of a number of trolley systems in the United States of America in the early part of the 20th century.
In Australia, seven Birney cars have survived in operating condition: five are at Bendigo Tramways, one at the Australian Electric Transport Museum, and one at the Hawthorn Tram Depot in Melbourne.

 Birney, James
Birney was rarely at home, as he lectured across the South, calling for the gradual end to slavery and the colonization of the former slaves in Africa.
Birney resumed publication of The Philanthropist in September 1836, and he continued to publish it in the city until 1847, when he moved the paper to Washington, DC, and renamed it the National Era.
Birney's candidacy, however, probably won the election for James K. Polk, the Democratic Party's nominee and cost the election for Henry Clay, the Whig Party's candidate.

 James G. Birney
The American reformer, James G. Birney, leader of the conservative abolitionists in the United States from about 1835 to 1845, was born in Danville, Kentucky, of a family of wealth and influence, on the 4th of February 1792.
Birney's father was among those who advocated a "free state" constitution for Kentucky, and the home environment of the boy had thus fostered a questioning attitude towards slavery, though later he was himself a slave-holder.
Birney soon relinquished its active control to Gamaliel Bailey in order to serve the Anti-Slavery Society as secretary and as a lecturer.

 David Bell Birney (1825-1864)
Birney was born in Huntsville, Alabama, the son of an abolitionist from Kentucky, James G. Birney.
Birney's new position was from the Devil's Den, to the Wheatfield, to the Peach Orchard, part of a salient directly in the path of the Confederate assault, and it was too long a front for a single division to defend.
As Birney watched the few survivors of his division gather about him on Cemetery Ridge, he whispered to one of his officers, "I wish I were already dead." Sickles was grievously wounded by a cannonball and Birney assumed temporary command of the corps, despite having received two small wounds himself.

 Reed Birney
Reed Birney’s extensive stage credentials, beginning with his 1976 New York debut in Albert Innaurato’s Gemini, looks more like a directory than a resume, but the screen credits for this “actor’s actor” are often not given their due.
Birney made his film debut in Arthur Penn and Steve Tesich’s Four Friends and followed that with the lead role in Sam Raimi’s Crimewave which, by the way, was written by Joe and Ethan Coen.
If he looks so very familiar, it could be because of his TV appearances, most recently as a guest star on the 2002 season premiere of Ed, or perhaps from his many roles on all three incarnations of Law and Order.
