It is a device that is used to ground vibrating machinery to the ground wire of the device's feeder wire. The strap has extra flexibility that will take the bending and flexing from the machine to the ground terminal. If a wire is used, most times it will stress fracture and break due to the vibration, leaving the device ungrounded.

Should i wear a grounding strap when servicing a CRT monitor?
I would suggest not wearing one, because the CRT uses very high voltages which could potentially remain while you are servicing it. Grounding yourself will put you at a greater risk of serious shock. The parts in a CRT are generally not as likely to be static sensitive as many other electronic devices, so the need for a grounding strap is not as great. Also, before working with a CRT, do some research into other precautions you should take to avoid electric shock.

How were the old three wire outlets for dryer and ranges wired before the four wire came about?
The hot wires were connected to the outside blades on the plug end. The neutral was connected to the center blade. The neutral wire was hard wired to the frame with a copper strap and the neutral was used as a ground conductor. With a four wire the copper strap is removed and a separate wire is used for grounding purposes from the frame of the device back to the ground bar in the distribution panel.

What computer components should you not touch while wearing antistatic wrist strap?
I'm not aware of any component you cannot touch. As long as the power is off and you are grounded properly. You would have to touch any component part in order to replace or upgrade it. When using a Antistatic wrist strap you should always male sure it makes contact your skin properly, if the strap has a crocodile clip at the end make sure it is attached to a suitable grounding point. You can clip it to the PC chassis but make sure the power is off at the wall socket but the plug is left inserted, if you unplug the PC completely there is no grounding. Saying all this grounding yourself is a bit over rated. I rarely use a grounding wrist strap and have never had an incident.
