The centre lathe has only one coaxial tool, whereas the capstan has a rotating multi tool station with indexer and clutch.
A turret lathe has six-usual tools arranged in the order of use on a rotating turret which is cycled by a large wheel or (Turnstile) like contrivance- in fact some lathe makers calle them Turnstile lathes. the British prefer the term Capstan lathes, the Capstan being that old extended bar device ( somewhat resembling a turnstile) used by seamen to manually raise the anchor- in old Pirate films, etc. The Capstan or Turnstile is oriented vertically, like a steering wheel. they usually have six stops on a hexagon turret. For this reason, a number of automobile makers had hexagonal trademarks such as Essex and Packard- a mark of homage to the machines used to make the parts!- the Turret Lathe.
Centre lathe can use for friction welding.
Lathe specifications· Distance between centers· Swing over the bed· Swing over the cross slide· Horse power of the motor· Number of speeds
They are essentially the same machine. Capstan is British usage, Turret, US. One old and still technically correct usage of Capstan was the (Turnstile winch) were Bars were extended and seamen walked round and round to weigh the anchor. Almost certainly this inspired the lathe term, as this is a maritime country (UK). The Wheel or circular component on a capstan lathe, however is usually three spoked and Vertical and drives the ram ( containing the usually hexagonal turret- 6 tools) back and forth into the work. They are or were very popular in the automotive sector for fabricating standard parts.

A capstan is a vertical axel, rotating machine developed for use on sailing ships to wind up ropes, cables, and hawsers. The principle is similar to that of the windlass, which has a horizontal axle
One would use a lathe chuck as a type of clamp used to hold onto the rotating tool bit on a lathe, a lathe chuck is also known by a different name: a collet.
