What was "naked conductor runs under the carriage" supposed to be originally? Open driveshaft? Differential?

It's supposed to mean "a naked wire is stretched under the car". But it very well can be interpreted as, well, as a cloth-less train conductor having to quickly move under the carriage.

It’ll be a reference to a wire surely? Bare conductor?
