Introduction. Consider a differentiable manifold M and the tangent bundle T(M) over M, the structure group of which is usually the general linear group G'. Let P' be the principal fibre bundle associated with T(M). Consider the fibre F of T(M) as an affine space, then we have acting on F the affine transformation group G, which contains G' as the isotropic subgroup.
