[edit](It appears to be sheer coincidence that Paul Langevin worked on WWI sonar for Western allies, and the Langevin Manufacturing Corporation was created in US, in the audio electronics market, to deal with WWII requirements for alternative sourcing, and that one online audio forum heard 2nd-hand from an audio "old-timer" that the 2-syllable French pronunciation applied to the American company. Or perhaps having the name in common name had some PR value, esp'ly if pronounced properly -- even tho Paul was in house arrest from the fall of France to the liberation, and didn't live much beyond it.)
