Davit systems are most often used to lower an emergency lifeboat to the embarkation level to be boarded. Davits can also be used as man-overboard safety devices to retrieve personnel from the water. The lifeboat davit has falls (now made of wire, historically of manila rope) that are used to lower the lifeboat into the water.
How Television Works. As you can see in the drawing, there's not a whole lot to a basic cathode ray tube. There is a cathode and a pair (or more) of anodes. There is the phosphor-coated screen.

However, in this diagram you can see no way to steer the beam -- the beam will always land in a tiny dot right in the center of the screen. How Amazon Fire TV Works.
