    • 1959 June, “Super-railway planned in Japan”, in Trains Illustrated, page 315:
      The two-storey "dome" cars, which are the outer vehicles of the centre triplet, are not for outsize Westerners, as the upper floor allows a mere 5 ft. 7 in. from floor to ceiling, while the height of the downstairs saloon is only 6 ft.
    • 2016, Nathanael Johnson, Unseen City, →ISBN, page 100:
      I'd wanted to find someone who understood the culinary tradition behind the cooking of ginkgo nuts because all the recipes I'd found in English were written by Westerners experimenting rather than drawing on East Asian history and practice.
