Looking at the entire page I agree it says Controlled Refuse Tipman
compare the T with other instances e.g. Slater & Tiler and Tailor Factory Man further down the page

Good afternoon,
Thank you Alan and Boo for taking the time to reply.
It is obvious when pointed out.

It may connect with his ARP function - decontamination squad, Borough of ??
He may have worked for a borough in controlled refuse, and volunteered in the same area of work.
The borough minutes may throw some more light on it.
