Abstract
Let L(M) be the bundle of all linear frames over a smooth manifold M, $u$ an arbitrarily given point of L(M), and ${\nabla}:\mathfrak{X}(M){\times}\mathfrak{X}(M){\rightarrow}\mathfrak{X}(M)$ a linear connection on M. Then the following result is well known: the horizontal subspace at the point $u$ may be written in terms of local coordinates of $u{\in}L(M)$ and Christoel's symbols defined by ${\nabla}$. This result is very fundamental on the study of the theory of connections. In this paper we show that the local expression of the horizontal subspace at the point u does not depend on the choice of a local coordinate system around the point $u{\in}L(M)$, which is rarely seen.
