The most iconic
Gone for more than 45 years, the smoke-billowing sign for Camel cigarettes is still remembered. The 30-by-100-foot billboard featured a man holding a cigarette; his mouth formed an O, which produced gargantuan smoke rings every four seconds. The circles were actually steam, pumped by the Con Ed building's heating system into a small chamber behind the hole, where a diaphragm mounted on a mechanical piston created the illusion.
