Multiple Ring Spurs.

Zoomup
When was it common to run a ring final in a loft of say a bungalow, and have multiple spurs running down to sockets in rooms below? Why did this come about? Was it a wartime materials' saving provision? I am working in an old building wired in the early to mid 60s and no sockets seem to be on a ring, just spurs, but there are rings at the fuse box. The collection of a multitude of junction boxes is something to behold. It is junction box city, now all hidden under layers of glass fibre insulation. A real pig.

    I did some work in a house wired in the same way but the bedroom sockets were on the ring with spur drops to the ground floor sockets, not many of them which was the problem. Also no earth on the lights. I think it was a 60's house certainly no earlier.
