Summary:
We determine all natural operators transforming vector fields on a manifold $M$ to vector fields on $T^*T^2_1M$, $\operatorname{dim}M \ge 2$, and all natural operators transforming vector fields on $M$ to functions on $T^*TT^2_1M$, $\operatorname{dim}M \ge 3$. We describe some relations between these two kinds of natural operators.
