Abstract :
It is shown that there exists a class of error correcting codes which can be viewed both as binary cyclic codes and as multilevel cyclic codes. This class contains not only the Burton codes but also some Reed Solomon codes. The conditions which codes of this class must satisfy are explained and some simple examples are given
