In ‘Automorphisms of Dowling lattices and related geometries’, J. Bonin constructed the automorphism group A of a Dowling lattice as the image of a certain semidirect product, A = θ(K [rtimes] H). In this work we find necessary and sufficient conditions for this quotient to be the semidirect product A = θ(K) [rtimes] θ(H). In addition, we include a construction of A that lends itself to computation more readily than that found in Bonin's work.
