We prove that the problem of finding all f m -natural operators C : Q Q T r * lifting classical linear connections on m -manifolds M into classical linear connections C M ( ) on the r -th order cotangent bundle T r * M = J r ( M , ) 0 of M can be reduced to the well known one of describing all f m -natural operators D : Q p T q T * sending classical linear connections on m -manifolds M into tensor fields D M ( ) of type ( p , q ) on M .
