The rate and corresponding gluon jet energy distribution for the process e+e- → t tg are sensitive to the presence of anomalous dipole-like couplings of the top to the photon and Z at the production vertex. For sizeable anomalous couplings of this type substantial deviations from the expectations of the Standard Model are likely. We explore the capability of the NLC to discover or place bounds on these types of top quark couplings. The resulting constraints are found to be quite complementary to those which arise from direct probes of the top quark production vertex.
