The modules of principal parts$P$^{$k$}($E$) of a locally free sheaf ε on a smooth scheme$X$is a sheaf of$O$_{$X$}-bimodules which is locally free as left and right$O$_{$X$}-module. We explicitly split the modules of principal parts$P$^{$k$}($O$($n$)) on the projective line in arbitrary characteristic, as left and right$O$_{p1}-modules. We get examples when the splitting-type as left module differs from the splitting-type as right module. We also give examples showing that the splitting-type of the principal parts changes with the characteristic of the base field.
