This is correct. Mid-`60s Triumphs sold in the US had a
factory-authorized dealer-installed kit produced by a company known as
Vornado (who now only make fans, humidifiers, space heaters and the
like) and was known as "Triumph-Aire." Later models (perhaps TR6 only)
had a different aftermarket kit marketed under the name, "Coolaire," but
this was not a factory-authorized item, and the warranty was supplied by
local dealers.
Cheers.
