"When a dynamo is so constructed that only a smal part of its current is employed to magnetize its field-magnet, it is called shunt wound, because the magnetizing current is diverted from the main circuit through a shunt circuit." -Atkinson 1903

A shunt is an electrical component used to allow electric current to flow from one point to the circuit. Railway generators are usually provided with shunts. The shunt provided in the picture is made of German silver, which has a high resistance that remains through varying temperatures
