  For multiplicative characters of a non-Archimedean local field, we have a
formula for epsilon factors due to John Tate. Before Tate, Erich Lamprecht also
gave a formula for local epsilon factors of linear characters. Then Tate
generalizes the formula for epsilon factors. In this paper, we give a very
short and neat proof of the Lamprecht-Tate formula. We also show that the
famous twisting formula of Deligne is a special case of the Lamprecht-Tate
formula.
