We study the Birnbaum importance of the consecutive-k-out-of-n line and clear up confusion in some claimed but unproved results. We introduce some new techniques which not only prove these claimed results but also generalize them much further. Finally, we extend our results to the 2-out-of-m-out-of-n line.
