We use some results about stable relations to show that some of the simple, stable, projectionless crossed products of ${{O}_{2}}$ by $\mathbb{R}$ considered by Kishimoto and Kumjian are inductive limits of type I ${{C}^{*}}$-algebras. The type I ${{C}^{*}}$-algebras that arise are pullbacks of finite direct sums of matrix algebras over the continuous functions on the unit interval by finite dimensional ${{C}^{*}}$-algebras.
