conveyers

Things that carry

Conveyers are people or things that convey—that transport, communicate, or transmit.

A belt system that moves packages is a conveyer; so is a person who delivers a message.

The spelling conveyor is more common, especially for mechanical systems: conveyor belt.

Both spellings work for the broader sense of anything that carries or transmits: conveyers of meaning, conveyers of disease.
