For me being an Indian and English not being my primary language carousel
is a new term for me. As I could vaguely remember in airports the round
belt that carries luggage is announced as carousels. I observed it when I
have visited US, in India that is called as luggage belt. Since then I was
assuming carousels is not just a design word but used in general. Is it not
the case?
