In their paper, "Neural Nets for Adaptive Filtering and Adaptive
Pattern Recognition (IEEE Computer, March 1988),"  Bernard Widrow and
Rodney Winter describe a feed-forward network for pattern
recognition, whose responses are invariant to translation, rotation,
and scale change of the input pattern.  This network is based on
multiple ADALINE neurodes, and the Madaline rule II (MRII) training
method.  Does anyone know where I can find further information on
this network?  Is there a follow-up article?  Sources of information on the
translation/rotation/scale invariance of backpropagation (or other
networks) in pattern recognition would also be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
