Comments from Rwxrwxrwx

Interesting article, enjoyable read. A few suggestions:

• As shown by the atomated link checker, the Wells Fargo external link redirects to another domain.
• The colour picture would be more useful for the infobox than the current crude black-and-white one.
• If the black-and-white picture is kept, the numbered items should be explained.
• The sections are very short. If they can't be expanded maybe some merging should be done.
• Several of the citations are missing "title" parameters.
• The "how it worked" section is exactly the same procedure as a modern ATM; either point that out or explain any differences. The list of instructions would be better formatted as prose.
• What was an "Alltime Tellercard"? Same as a modern bank card?
• Punctuation is messed up in several places. WP:LQ should apply.
• Did the machines really have a TV screen? What size? Colour? I remember early ATMs having only a single-line dot-matrix LED display.
• The two song adverts are unreferenced.
• The quoted song title links to "If You Knew Susie" so that's what the link text should be. See WP:EGG.
• The quoted song could be formatted within <poem> tags to eliminate blank lines.
• The mention of the song "she's a jolly good teller" could be expanded to link to the original song.
• The last two links in the references section should be either put into an "external links" section and their relevance explained, or used as citations in the article.
• There is a lot of redundancy in the categories list.
