	There is this explanation on an old occupations site but it doesn't seem to fit with an electrical factory:- Teerer/Tierer/Tier Boy - Spread a fresh surface of colour on the printer's 'pad' each time he used it to print calico. Are you sure it's not just Tea Boy. Kath. x

	Does anyone know what a Tier Boy is? One of my great great uncles died at 12 years old and was a tier boy in an electrical factory in Dysart, Fife.
