Summary:
Let $F$ be a natural bundle. We introduce the geometrical construction transforming two general connections into a general connection on the $F$-vertical bundle. Then we determine all natural operators of this type and we generalize the result by IK̇olář and the second author on the prolongation of connections to $F$-vertical bundles. We also present some examples and applications.
