Our house (as in the house I grew up in, back in the 1950s) had a very
early ring circuit as it was built in 1949 or thereabouts. It

should have been or just how the electrician (my father I think)
thought it should be I don't know.

When rings were first introduced, people used to make them from 2 15A
radial circuits joined together.

I don't know how officially-sanctioned that was or for how long.

Yes- I've seen that several times, with old style fuseboxes. I suppose
it's safe enough as regards circuit protection?
