TCX, this might help you:

Approach - Doesn't use radar to separate aircraft, provides procedural service to a/c inbound to or flying in the vicinity of an airfield. May however use radar derived information to provide information to pilots on potential conflictions.

Approach RADAR - Uses radar to separate, and vector a/c into a suitable position to make an approach to an airfield orfor handover to another controller

Director - Deals with the final sequencing of a/c making an approach to an airfield


Tower - Responsible for isuing landing, and take of clearance, responsible for a/c flying in the immediate vicinity of the airfield, responsible for all movements on the runway (including vehicles)

Ground - responsible for all a/c (and sometimes vehicle) movements on the ground

Delivery - Issues departure clearances to a/c on the ground


This is just a general guide to what each position does, different units allocate different responsibilities to the approach and radar positions, but essentially it's as I've said above
