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.

    Only last week I came across a 4 bed property that had the left and right sides of the house split into RFC as apposed to downstairs and upstairs convention! ?


    I always wire my socket circuits like this if i can.  Less cable and a better electrical design in my opinion.  If a circuit is out for some reason you still have functioning sockets on both floors.
