A description of a cold transport/retrieval Dewar for the removal and insertion of a polarized solid HD target is given. The procedure for removing such a target from the production dilution refrigerator, storing the target for long periods of time until needed, inserting it into the in-beam cryostat, and finally disengaging it will be discussed. This apparatus considerably reduces the complexity of the in-beam cryostat at both the LEGS and GRAAL Compton Laser Backscattering facilities, where the new HD polarized target will have its first use.
