In the 1910's and 20's, economic pressures and the rise of the
motorbus produced dramatic changes in the streetcar industry. A
promising solution to ensure profitability was the introduction of
the so-called "Safety Car" designed by Stone and Webster Corp.
engineer Charles O. Birney. This type of small trolley featured
several innovations, including "deadman" controls that
automatically cut power to the motors and applied brakes in an
emergency. The main attraction for transit companies however was
the fact that the cars' design allowed a man to both run the car
and take fares. The elimination of the conductor without any
apparent compromise in safety sold the public on the cars and
produced an immediate cost savings. This high quality booklet is a
reprint of two brochures originally produced by Westinghouse
Electric and Manufacturing Co. and General Electric to promote
these efficient streetcars.
