Default Steel Soil Pipe with welded joints

I've never seen this before, where a 4" soil pipe must have been factory
made.

This was fitted into a 1960/70s council house.

Sorry the photos are poor, too many cobwebs etc.

No reason why it couldnt have been done on site.

I forgot to add the pipe and welded joints were galvanised.

Even into the 1960s, the building industry was suffering from shortages
of materials as a direct result of post-war rebuilding. That resulted in
quite a few innovative techniques being tried, some successful, some
not. Building a lot of identical houses would be the ideal place to try
factory pre-assembly and welded steel pipes would need less material
than traditional cast iron.

It could also have been welded on site then taken for hot dipping

No point in welding on site and then taking it to the factory for hot
dipping.
Might as well weld it in the factory too.

Perhaps I was wrong, but I assumed it was NT's attempt at humour?
