[For the entire collection see Zbl 0727.00008.] \(B(n,m)\) is a partial linear space with \(n^ 2+n+m+1\) points and lines, where there are \(n+1\) points on every line. It can easily be checked that every point is on \(n+1\) lines, that there are \(m\) linear parallel to any given line, and that dually every point is not connected to \(m\) other points. If a line and all points on that line are deleted, then \(n^ 2+n\) lines will contain \(n\) points, and there will be \(m\) exceptional lines containing \(n+1\) points. After deleting one point from every exceptional line, a partial linear space \(G(n,m)\) is obtained. In this paper, the converse is proved, namely, if \(2\leq m\leq n-2\) and \(n\geq12m^ 3+6m^ 2-m\), then it is possible to embed \(G(n,m)\) into \(B(n,m)\). The proof is long and is divided into 12 lemmas.
