When I was a kid we had a New World dryer which was made by Jackson - it was badged New World for the Australian market. It was a tiny little thing but really well built and reliable. There was also a gas model available which is unusual over here.
The instructions were for a Jackson dryer and the logo appeared to be TI in a circle. I have no idea what the TI stood for.
I have some vague recollection that they may have been part of or swallowed up by Hotpoint.

Hi Brandon
All those dryers used to make that sound , until the spring sprang and snapped, then the door would drop!!!
They never made washers but the sister company was Creda, who invented the first UK Spinner and later creda washers etc...
Chris, TI is Tube Investments linked with Creda and Parnall Yates Bristol etc...Purveyors of fine laundry appliances from the 60`s.
Factoids:
"In 1919 Creda became one of the founder members of Tube Investments Ltd and in 1945 a factory was purchased in Blythe Bridge, Stoke-on-Trent. The head office of Creda was transferred from Oldbury in the West Midlands to Blythe Bridge in 1959. Some of the developments that Creda brought to the UK market include the induction hob, the microwave circulaire oven and the first ever self cleaning oven called 'Autoclean'. An induction hob is one that heated the saucepans directly by creating a magnetic field which the pan transferred into heat. The microwave oven was a full size fan oven with grill which incorporated a microwave option within it.
In the early 1970's Creda purchased TI Jackson which included a factory in Yate near Bristol which was subsequently used to manufacture tumble dryers. Creda in fact produced the first ever spin dryer and the first fully automatic tumble dryer.
In 1987 Creda was purchased by the GEC Group and in 1989 became part of a new division of the GEC Group called 'General Domestic Appliances'"

If I remember rightly, wasn't Jackson Hotpoint's ultra budget range, rebadging older First Edition washers, before Merloni took Hotpoint over?

Since before I was born a Creda branded version of this dryer has been passed around within our family, to whoever happens to need it at the time. Originally belonged to my grandparents, then it moved to an aunt's house in the early 80s. Ten years later it went to a cousin who was setting up home, after which it went to another aunt who as far as I'm aware still uses it to supplement her washer-dryer. So it has definitely earned its keep.
I remember it had a clockwork timer that ticked away rhythmically during the drying cycle, and a simple rocker switch for the heat selections. Also a metal lint screen cover that was usually still red hot when you tried to remove it!
As far Jackson, that name reappeared in the late 90s I think, on a BOL "budget" range of Creda appliances. Single cavity cooker, basic uni-directional dryer and a matching washer that was virtually identical to the Hotpoint First Edition WM50 series. Quality seemed to be on par with other Hotpoint/Creda manufactured goods, just minus any fancy frills and features, and they were priced pretty reasonably.
Speaking of dryers with drop-down doors, anyone else remember the Burco "Tumblair"? My parents received one in 1975 (I think) as a wedding present, and it just ran and run until 1990 when it suddenly burnt out mid-cycle one day. Had a largish perforated drum, and a strange lint filter that resembled a wind sock, but I've never seen one since.
Ah, memories!
