Abstract
We obtain the canonical expansion of an infinitesimal affine transformation of the second order tangent bundle with horizontal lift connection. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions under which a vector field is an infinitesimal affine transformation. We also construct the horizontal lift of a linear connection to a second order Weil bundle.
