Abstract	In the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) the main dipoles will be equipped with sextupole (MCS) and decapole (MCD) spool correctors to meet the very high demands of field quality required for the satisfactory operation of the machine. Each decapole corrector will in addition have an octupole insert (MCO) and the assembly of the two is designated MCDO. These correctors are needed in relatively large quantities, i.e. 2464 MCS Sextupoles and 1232 MCDO Decapole-Octupole assemblies. Half the number of the required spool correctors will be made in India through a collaboration between CERN and CAT (Centre for Advanced Technology, Indore, India), the other half will be built by European industry. The paper describes final choices concerning design, materials, production techniques, and testing so as to assure economic magnet manufacture but while maintaining a homogenous magnetic quality that results in a robust product.
