Keywords:
tangent bundle; jet bundle; connection; natural operator.
Summary:
All natural operations transforming linear connections on the tangent bundle of a fibred manifold to connections on the 1-jet bundle are classified. It is proved that such operators form a 2-parameter family (with real coefficients).
