The "Quadrantal" is one style of davit that I have no memory of ever seeing, other than as a diagram used for comparison.Then again, its function is similar to the gravity davit,
in that it tips from the vertical to the horizontal, to get the lifeboat clear of the side of the ship, for launching.
The "radial" davit is probably the most prevalent.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
