Hi.. I might have missed the post, but braille on drive through has zero to
do with a design mistake - it's practicality.  The ATM manufacturer doesn't
put out a "drive-through" and "walk-up" model - it puts out one, and then
it's up to whomever to mount it.  Simpler just to put braille on the kit and
ship, and not worry about it.
