[QUOTE="dxhound2003, post: 1159181, member: 232371"] Carillon somehow lends itself to being misspelt, with people expecting to see a second "i" and it becomes Carillion. It would make a big difference to the pronunciation as well. Another one where that happens is Edision, the satellite brand, where people drop the second "i" to turn it into Edison. "Carillon Radio may well have got its name from the Carillon Tower and War Memorial museum in Queen's Park in Loughborough. It was built in 1922 in memory of the town's war dead. It stands 46 metres high. In the bell chamber is a Carillon, a rack of 47 bells which are played by a clavier (keyboard) underneath." [/QUOTE]
