Question Alternators

Does anyone know a technical reason why some piston engine start checklists (but not B47) call for the alternator to be switched on after the engine is started?

I would have thought (and Bell it would seem) that an alternator would pose no drain on battery during start and seeing as it happens when starting a car engine I wonder why it is so.
