Default lathe classifications -- whats a chucker

Every lathe is a chucker...just leave the key in and turn it on.

How does a "chucker" lathe differ from other types?

I know about turret lathes, engine lathes, toolroom lathes...
I've tried to tell from pictures and references on the net,
but I still don't really know what a "chucker" is used for.
