Let be a principal prolongation of a principal bundle P → M. We classify all gauge natural operators transforming principal connections on P → M and rth order linear connections on M into general connections on . We also describe all geometric constructions of classical linear connections on from principal connections on P → M and rth order linear connections on M.
