Idea for making 1-person He transfers easier:
make aluminum hooks to hang the horizontal part of the transfer lines. These
hooks will hang from the gray LHe transfer pipe. Before bringing in the Dewar,
you can hang the transfer line from these hooks, placing it roughly in position
to insert into the storage Dewar.

make 4 hooks, 0.75“ X 9.6” strips of aluminum.
