Can you post a pic of the repair?

Attached are photos of the repair, one with bolts removed from doubler and one with doubler removed from hat section showing the damage to the spar, presumably cut out.
The log book states "repaired cabin spar per Cessna Engineering instruction".
There is no form 337 in the FAA records.
The work was signed out by Cruse Aviation Inc, no 2016, Houston 17, Texas on 7-22-75
Do these people still exist? Would they have any record other than that in the log book?

What could have caused that damage?

No idea. Repaired in 1975, The damage would suggest the wingtip hit something but there is no obvious repair in the wingtip. It's been flying with the repair for 37 years. The repairer has become a residential address in Houston.
The owner at the time was Nolan Atchley of Livingstone, Tx. maybe he knows what happened. It would be great to hear from him if he is still around.
