In both cases the role of the left arm was to maintain the radius of the swing.
The important factor here is that it is not the left hand which is pulling down, thus causing the tension we discussed earlier, but the right hand pulling the left arm straight.
So while the right arm goes on the search for the plane in the backswing, the left arm, whilst having a secondary role does have a major one, that is maintaining the radius of the swing and providing structure to the overall stroke.

 Keep-Left 2006
Weston-super-mare was the destination for today, so we stopped in the surrounding countryside near a place called Brean, not the nicest of places (at all!) but the campsite was pretty much perfect, though run by a farmer it was far better (and cheaper) than some of the 'holiday villages' we'd driven past.
We cut in to Lake Windemere as it was the most accessible - we took a quick photo and left (as we hadn't paid and displayed!) We also stopped off at the Sellafield Nuclear Power station, but it was after hours and there wasn't much to see.
We'd left it too late to look round Edinburgh so we scythed straight through the middle of it.

 Various Artists: Keep Left, Vol. 1: A Benefit for David Barsamian and Alternative Radio: Pitchfork Record Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Keep Left's selection seems to represent-- at least to some extent-- the taste of Barsamian and his AR cohorts Tonya Loendorf and Joe Richey, which evidently tends toward the atmospheric, and away from the rocking.
However, most of these tracks seem somehow appropriate to AR's oeuvre, whether obviously so (as in the case of Negativland), or because so many of them were recorded or mixed at the respective artist's home, outside of certain spheres of influence.
Still, there's a lot of good, unavailable stuff on Keep Left, and on the merits of the music alone, it's well worth picking up.
