1 hr confidence: 
Usually "main" or some form of it Explanation: магистральная технология - mainstream technology увеличение числа сотрудников, занятых магистральной обработкой Probably main or major processing, but if it means processing a main pipeline or something, say so. МСЦ = магистральный сортировочный центр = main sorting centre по магистральному маршруту на следующий магистральный узел - by the main route to the next main facility. Also магистральный путь (railways) - main line. In some cases the convention is to run main line together as mainline, e.g. БАМ = Байкало-Амурская Магистраль = Baikal-Amur Mainline (probably this came about so that the letters BAM could be used in English too). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2013-06-13 16:30:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think in the UK it would be head post office.
