Center Drive Unit CF6-80
Thanks for the info about the CDU, but just to be clear, if the CDU tension rod assembly which is responcible for the stow, stop, in-transit positions. Should this rod break would the T/R still be able to deploy because the pnematic motors inside the CDU can still provide power to operate the flex drive cables attached to the slave actuators. If this is possible, which is the question at hand, then it would be possible to have a deployed thrust referser, but the pilot be unaware of the thrust reverser position.
