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.

    One point per circuit. I recently installed two separate 16 Amp radial circuits each supplying just a single socket in a holiday rental property in the utility room. One is for the washing machine, the other for the tumble drier. You just can't trust double sockets these days to supply two heavy loads. And we don't want the holiday renters complaining.
