Not really, but it saved copper in the 1950s,
It does do that. But actually makes more efficient use of materials. It
gives more consistent results over the entire circuit which a radial can't
achieve.
If there is a break in the circuit, all the sockets may still work. The
circuit breaker won't trip. Yet one arm of the ring is taking all the
load that's meant to be divided between the two. Isn't that going to
lead to overheating?
