I've listed this article for peer review because I think the overall quality of the article needs to be improved.

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.
